Heart of the Beast is a 2026 American survival thriller film directed by David Ayer and written by Cameron Alexander. Brad Pitt stars as James Belmont, a retired Special Forces Command Sergeant Major. Both he and his combat dog Odin, a German Shepherd, suffer from PTSD and nightmares. James lands his Cessna Skywagon on a remote Alaskan lake and camps overnight, and there he meets Watkins, an outgoing stranger who sets up camp nearby. The two men talk late into the night, and James shares stories of the heroism and sacrifices that Odin has made in his duty. When their seaplane crashes in the Alaskan wilderness, the veteran and his traumatized dog face a grueling 58-mile (93-kilometer) trek to safety. J. K. Simmons plays Watkins and Anna Lambe plays Amber, while four dogs, Uber, Seeka, Ryker and Hondo, share the role of Odin. Heart of the Beast premiered at the FirstBank Amphitheater in Franklin, Tennessee, on September 16, 2026, and Paramount Pictures released it nationwide in the United States on September 25, 2026. In Ukraine the film opened a day earlier, on September 24.
