Although based on true events--the real-life Hugh Glass did actually set his broken leg and then crawled 200 miles before coming to a settlement--the film has taken many liberties. One of the most notable is changing the names of historical figures portrayed in this film. Hugh Glass was changed to "Zach Bass", mainly for legal reasons. While the Captain Henry character largely retains his name, the characters of Fogarty and Lowrie are based on John Fitzgerald and Jim Bridger, respectively. Nonetheless, this film puts Henry more into the position of John Fitzgerald than Fogarty. Also, even though Lowrie dies in this film, his real-life counterpart, Jim Bridger, was inspired by Hugh Glass and his ordeal and went on to become a respected trapper and frontiersman in his own right. This movie was BASED on a true story. It was never declared to BE a true story.
