Wild America is a thrilling adventure film from 1997 that follows the story of three teenage brothers, Marty, Mark, and Marshall Stouffer, who embark on a journey across America to photograph wildlife. The film stars Jonathan Taylor Thomas as Marty, Devon Sawa as Mark, and Scott Bairstow as Marshall. The Stouffer brothers have always had a passion for wildlife since they were young boys. They grew up in a small town in Arkansas and spent most of their childhood exploring the woods, capturing reptiles, and taking photographs of wild animals.

One day, Marty comes up with a brilliant plan to travel across the United States to photograph wildlife and document their journey. The three teens set out on the adventure of a lifetime in a beat-up old station wagon, with nothing but their cameras and their wits to keep them alive.

Along the way, the brothers encounter all sorts of wild animals, from grizzly bears to rattlesnakes to giant alligators. They also face plenty of obstacles, including a near-death experience with a massive tornado that nearly wipes out their entire hometown.

Despite the challenges, the brothers remain determined to complete their mission and capture the essence of wild America through their lenses. But as they travel deeper into the wilderness and get closer to their goal, they soon realize that they may have bitten off more than they can chew.

The film is packed with breathtaking scenery and heart-pounding action, as the Stouffer brothers journey across rivers, mountains, and deserts in search of the ultimate photograph. They encounter all sorts of people along the way, from friendly ranchers to surly truckers to eccentric old-timers, each with their own unique stories and advice to share.

The performances of the three young actors are excellent, with Jonathan Taylor Thomas delivering a standout performance as the charismatic and confident Marty. Devon Sawa and Scott Bairstow both give solid performances as Mark and Marshall, respectively, and the chemistry between the three brothers is palpable.

One of the strengths of the film is its ability to blend humor and drama seamlessly. There are plenty of funny moments, such as when the brothers try to sell their photographs to a comic book publisher or when they accidentally set fire to a campsite. But at its core, the film is a powerful coming-of-age story about three young men who learn to overcome their fears and discover the true meaning of brotherhood.

Overall, Wild America is a captivating adventure film that will thrill audiences of all ages. With stunning visuals, great performances, and a touching story, it's a must-see for anyone who loves the great outdoors and the thrill of adventure.
