Overview

Following a grueling five-week shift at an Alaskan oil refinery, workers led by sharpshooter John Ottway are flying home for a much-needed vacation. But a brutal storm causes their plane to crash in the frozen wilderness, and only eight men, including Ottway, survive. As they trek southward toward civilization and safety, Ottway and his companions must battle mortal injuries, the icy elements, and a pack of hungry wolves.

Viewing Notes

First time in a while watching with a good Dolby surround system in place. During the plan crash scene I thought my living room was coming apart!

Still a haunting, grim, tense piece of film-making with an uplifting core, strangely enough. Despite all its death and adversity it’s really a film about faith and perseverance.
