"The Call of the Wild" follows Buck, a powerful dog who is stolen from his comfortable home in California and thrust into the brutal world of the Yukon during the Klondike Gold Rush. As he is sold into service as a sled dog, Buck endures harsh conditions and learns to adapt and survive in the wild. Driven by the instinctive call of his ancestry, he gradually sheds his domesticated ways and embraces the feral nature within him. Through trials and transformations, Buck ultimately finds his place in the wilderness, answering the call of the wild and reclaiming his true identity.
