Factual error: When John Thornton is in the bar, Hal comes up and punches him in the face. They fight and argue, and Thornton proceeds to say that Hal "sucker punched" him. However, the term sucker punch was first known to be used in 1926 while Call of the Wild was published in 1903. The story itself took place in the 1890s.

Call of the Wild is an energetic adventure starring Buck, a big misfit dog who finds himself going to Alaska during the Gold Rush while seeking a true home. Along the way he meets several other remarkable CGI creatures, pulls a dogsled team, finds an old frontiersman, helps and saves others, and finally embraces his inner wolf. A solid and heartfelt family tale starring Harrison Ford, Omar Sy and Cara Gee. Give it a look.

John Thornton: This is a map of the Yukon. My son was always reading adventure stories, crazy about the news coming out of the Yukon. Wasn't the gold, he didn't care about that, it was the mountains. He spent all day looking at maps and pictures of the mountains, dreaming about was on the other side, places no-one had been, wild places. We could go, you and me, see what's out there. What do you think?
