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.

"Damn, this one knocked the wind out of me. I expected to see a well-crafted action flick and I did. What I didn't expect was that it would be intelligent as well. The storyline isn't really original, but it's what's between the lines that makes this film extraordinary. This isn't merely a story about survival, it's also about what gives people their purpose in life. The environment is well-captured by the cinematography, giving the impression of a frigid, white purgatory. The performances, particularly by Neeson and Grillo, are excellent. Another star in this film is the sound design; the howling of the wolves, the shrieking of the icy winds, they just cut through you like a knife. The wolves have powerful symbolic and narrative resonance throughout the picture. All in all, although it can be a bit of a slow burn, it is one of the best survival films I've seen."
