Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Made for romantics and adventure fans. If you loved Dances with Wolves, start here. Audiences love it more than critics do: a crowd-pleaser first.
The mood
Warm and romantic.
The pace
Takes its time with its characters, at 1 hr 49 min.
What might put you off
Rated PG-13. Probably too much for younger kids.

Stranded on a mountain after a tragic plane crash, two strangers must work together to endure the extreme elements of the remote, snow-covered terrain. When they realize help is not coming, they embark on a perilous journey across hundreds of miles of wilderness, pushing each other to survive and discovering their inner strength.
