A boy learns to deal with personal loss by making friends with a wild
animal in this drama for the family. Jesse (Shane Meier) is a
16-year-old who is trying to put his life back together after the death
of his father, who died while trying to rescue him in the wilderness.
Jesse goes to live with his Uncle Roy (Michael Biehn), who lives in the
rugged mountains of Washington State. While exploring, Jesse finds and
rescues a wolf who has been seriously wounded; Jesse bonds with the
animal, and while Roy understands the dangers of trying to tend to a
wild animal, he allows Jesse to keep him, though Roy suggests that
donating the wolf to a zoo might be a good idea. However, Jesse, who is
fond of snowboarding, teaches the wolf to be his partner in skijoring, a
sport in which a dog is used to haul a man on skis. John Rockwell (Roy
Scheider), the owner of a ranch, has different plans for the animal; he
sees the wolf as a threat to his stock and is determined to see that the
animal is put down. Silverwolf was shot on location in Vancouver.
