White Fang is a 1991 American northern period adventure drama film directed by Randal Kleiser, and starring Ethan Hawke, Klaus Maria Brandauer, and Seymour Cassel.

Based on Jack London's novel of the same name, the film tells the story of the friendship between a young Klondike gold prospector and a wolfdog.

In 1896, during the Klondike Gold Rush, a young explorer named Jack Conroy arrives in Alaska from San Francisco to look for his deceased father's mining claim.

A band of Native Americans, meanwhile, find the pup, and the chief, realizing he is a wolfdog (a hybrid of a wolf and dog) from the color of his teeth, names him White Fang.

Not long after, White Fang is unfairly traded to Beauty Smith, a sadistic dogfighter who previously stole Jack's money; he blackmails the Native American for the wolfdog, saying that ownership of a wild animal is considered illegal.

Smith and his gang train and abuse White Fang into becoming a ferocious killing machine in order to enter him into illegal dogfights.

Bart the Bear and the timber wolves were trained by professional employees of Heber City, Utah's Wasatch Rocky Mountain Wildlife.

The site's critical consensus states, "This glossy edition of White Fang shaves off the rough-hewn edges that made Jack London's epic story so distinct, but gorgeous photography and heartfelt performances make this an appealing adventure.

He described it as a film that "holds the natural world in wonder and awe", and praised the actors' "authentic and understated” performances as well as the "magnificently photographed” cinematography.
