If all you’ve seen of Robert Redford’s 1972 film Jeremiah Johnson is the ubiquitous “bearded guy nodding approvingly” clip from the movie that has been used as a popular internet reaction meme for about a decade, here’s your chance to check out the full, compelling source material.

Based partly on the life of mountain man John Jeremiah Johnson, the film features terrific location filming shot in many areas across Utah.
