All eyes have been on Leonardo DiCaprio<\/a> as of late, thanks to his appearance in Paul Thomas Anderson<\/a>\u2019s One Battle After Another<\/a>. Although the film may have fallen flat with some viewers, others loved it and are scrambling through various streamers to find more DiCaprio content where that came from. For their fix, fans are turning to Paramount+, where the actor\u2019s celebrated 2015 film, The Revenant<\/a>, is currently gathering eyeballs from around the globe, making it the seventh most-watched film on the streamer\u2019s worldwide Top 10 chart. With company like Top Gun: Maverick<\/a> and Gladiator II<\/a>, the Alejandro Gonz\u00e1lez I\u00f1\u00e1rritu<\/a>-helmed Western is enjoying a resurgence a full decade since it thrilled audiences and landed DiCaprio his first and only Academy Award win.<\/p>\n

Blending fact with fiction, The Revenant tells the story of real-life hardened frontiersman, Hugh Glass, who spent his life exploring North America. Although much of Glass\u2019 life would have made for a perfect cinematic experience, the film explores an especially harrowing chapter that sees him being mauled by a grizzly bear and left for dead by his companions. Joining DiCaprio in the at times hard-to-watch film is a lineup of performers that includes Tom Hardy<\/a> (Peaky Blinders), Will Poulter<\/a> (The Maze Runner), Domhnall Gleeson<\/a> (The Paper), Forrest Goodluck<\/a> (Pet Sematary: Bloodlines), and more.<\/p>\n

With a critics\u2019 rating of 78% on Rotten Tomatoes, The Revenant is one of the star\u2019s highest rated films, right up there with The Wolf of Wall Street<\/a>, Marvin\u2019s Room, and Catch Me If You Can, which takes the cake with a near-perfect critics\u2019 score of 96%. At the box office, the movie soared beyond expectations, earning a staggering $533 million against its $135 million production budget. As far as DiCaprio\u2019s lifetime global haul is concerned, his historical foray into the wilderness as the dogged survivalist is his third-highest earning, clocking in behind Christopher Nolan\u2019s mind-bending sci-fi flick, Inception<\/a>, and James Cameron\u2019s historical romantic drama, Titanic<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Leonardo DiCaprio Brings Home an Oscar With \u2018The Revenant\u2019<\/p>\n

After decades in the industry, DiCaprio landed his first Academy Award win with The Revenant, marking a milestone in his career. For years, he took on difficult, detailed, and layered roles in movies like What\u2019s Eating Gilbert Grape<\/a> and The Aviator<\/a>, nabbing four Oscar nominations for Best Actor, but only with his work in the 2015 Western survival film did he go home with the trophy. The movie also saw I\u00f1\u00e1rritu walk away with the honor of Best Director, as well as Emmanuel Lubezki for Best Cinematography. In all, the film was nominated for an impressive 12 nominations at that year\u2019s Academy Awards.<\/p>\n

The Revenant is now streaming on Paramount+.<\/p>\n
