In the Book	In the Movie
Paints Chris as more abrasive. Ranting against authority when confronted. He replies rather abrasively, for example to the need for a hunting license.	Chris is pretty easy going. An added scene is when he wants to raft down the Colorado River, he finds a way, peacefully, to find his own way.
These two did not exist.	After rafting down the river he meets two Swedish people.
Portrayed more darkly.	Portrayed as a hero.
	Fantastic soundtrack by Eddie Vedder.
The book details stories of others who have gone into the wild and never returned.	Sticks to Chris's story.
