Directed by David Hartford and James Oliver Curwood, Nomads of the North (1920) is a silent adventure drama set in the Canadian wilderness. Starring Lon Chaney as a heroic trapper framed for murder, the film follows his escape into the forest with his fiancée. It is celebrated for the unique bond between a dog and a bear cub, and a harrowing forest fire climax that caused real-life injuries to the cast. The film survives today as a classic of early outdoor cinema.
