There is a scene in the film Wild in which Cheryl Strayed (played by Reese Witherspoon) runs out of food in the middle of nowhere and is forced to hitch a ride into town with a farm worker, an overweight middle-aged guy in a pick-up truck. Is he creepy? Is something awful about to happen to her? We’re not sure, but he makes a few possibly untoward comments and, as Witherspoon edges into the passenger seat, she blusters nervously about her “husband”, who has gone ahead and is waiting for her, “just up the trail”. Of course, there is no husband. She is all alone in the wilderness with her ill-fitting boots, her over-laden backpack and total lack of experience of the outdoors. As it turns out, the truck driver is a good egg. He invites our uneasy heroine into his home, where a welcoming wife provides a bed, dinner and a hot shower – and we sigh with relief.
