Leo is not the only A-list talent featured in the clip as he is pitted against Tom Hardy's character John Fitzgerald, who left him for dead after a legendary bear attack.

The pair begin the two-minute clip as cohorts in a fur-trading enterprise but seemingly have a tense relationship as John gets confrontational with Hugh and his son.

Everything changes as a bear attacks the group and mainly ravages Hugh, who is left bloody and beaten. He is next shown strapped to a gurney as his son takes care of him.

John tells the group: 'the proper thing to do is to finish him off quick.' But another member of the enterprise tells him that Hugh will be taken care of for as long as necessary.

Though John agreed to that vow it seems that he was about to take it upon himself to take Hugh out of his misery, when he is stopped by his son.

The two struggle for control which ends with John stabbing the young man and killing him. Hugh watches while strapped down and foams at the mouth from anger.

John then buries Hugh in a shallow grave and when asked what happened he explained: 'We did what we had to do. he was buried right.'

Seemingly on will alone, Hugh climbs out of the burial area and crawls toward his son. After shedding a few tears, he definitely seemed to be a man on a mission.

Hugh said: 'All I had was my boy and he took it from me, you understand? He's afraid. He knows how far I came to find him.'
