Apparently the plant poisoning in the movie (and postulated in the book) weren't correct. If you read the Wikipedia on McCandless[1] research into how he died has made it clear that it was just plain old rabbit starvation[2].

Finally watched that movie on Tuesday night, I loved it, a very interesting story - made we want to get outside more!
Beautiful movie and soundtrack. There's two guys that rode a lot of the landmarks of the movie/book on mountain bikes: http://forums.mtbr.com/passion/mountain-bike-version-into-wi...
