The film stars: Mark Wahlberg, Simu Liu, Juliet Rylance, Nathalie Emmanuel, Ali Suliman, with Bear Grylls as Himself, and Paul Guilfoyle. The movie is also based on true events, however certain things were changed.
According to an article by USA Today, the real story took place in an entirely different country. In real life, Arthur was a stray dog in Equator who tailed a Swedish team on their journey during the Huairasinchi World Adventure Racing Championship Ecuador. He was a true tough cookie.
