本纪录片取材于野生动物保护主义者蒂莫西·崔德威尔（Timothy Treadwell）1999～2003年在美国阿拉斯加州卡特迈国家公园及自然保护区所拍摄的素材。崔德威尔从1989年起致力于野生灰熊的研究和保护，并与朋友成立了“熊人协会”，每年夏天来到卡特迈独自野营，观察记录灰熊的生活习性，并义务对数千名学童进行讲解，呼吁社会打击偷猎，关注、保护灰熊。导演沃纳·赫尔佐格（Werner Herzog）探访了崔德威尔的父母和前女友，并对2003年10月崔德威尔及女友艾米·胡格纳德（Amie Huguenard） 之死的细节进行了细致采访描绘，试图在展示崔德威尔非凡经历的同时，回答究竟是什么使他选择远离人类放逐荒野，将生命献给灰熊。 本片获圣丹斯电影节纪录片评审团大奖提名及艾尔弗·斯隆奖，并获2005年独立精神奖、洛杉矶影评人协会、纽约影评人协会、美国国家影评人协会等多个协会的最佳纪录片奖。
