Director Peter Weir has made a lot of famous films like Dead Poets Society. Among them are several with heavy Geography components, showing vast land, ocean, and coastal landscapes:
The Mosquito Coast with Harrison Ford based on the novel by pioneering travel writer Paul Theroux
Master and Commander: Far Side of the World which is historical fiction but includes a scene in which the ship stops in the Galapagos that largely mirrors young Charles Darwin's real experience in the Galapagos.
The Way Back (2010) based on the true story of Siberian prisoners who escape the gulag and walk 4000 miles to India
