Five Cent Cine: Heart of the Beast

- Director David Ayer's new film 'Heart of the Beast,' starring Brad Pitt, opened recently in theaters nationwide, following a retired Green Beret and his German Shepherd in the Alaskan wilderness.
- Following a Cessna 185 Skywagon crash, retired Green Beret James Belmont and his German Shepherd, Odin, find themselves stranded on a lake 58 miles from the nearest road.
