The film stars Charles Martin Smith as a government biologist sent into the wilderness to study the caribou population, whose decline is believed to be caused by wolves, even though no one has seen a wolf kill a caribou. The film also features Brian Dennehy and Zachary Ittimangnaq.
Produced by Walt Disney Pictures, Never Cry Wolf was the first Disney film to be released by the studio under its new name. The film was released in limited theatres on October 7, 1983, and went wider on January 27, 1984.
