Troy James Hurtubise spends seven years and roughly $150,000 building a suit of armor he calls the Ursus Mark VI, designed to let him get close enough to a grizzly bear to survive a mauling. The film follows him through the north Ontario bush as he straps on the suit, welded from tank tracks, chain mail, and hockey pads, and has friends test it by hitting him with a truck, throwing him down a ravine, and beating him with a two-by-four. Between stunts he explains the mauling that started the obsession and narrates his own methodology with total sincerity, which is where the film finds its comedy: nobody on screen is joking, but the setup keeps landing like a punchline. Director Peter Lynch shoots the tests plainly, letting the suit's clanking, dented reality do the work, and never tips into mockery. Hurtubise never gets his close encounter with an actual grizzly in the film; the suit itself, and the man who built it, are the real subject.
