A Uruguayan rugby team stranded in the snow swept Andes are forced to use desperate measures to survive after a plane crash.
Even after twenty years (almost 25) this film remains somewhat legendary. Whether you saw the film or not, you probably know about he plane that crashed in the Andes and the survivors who had to resort to cannibalism. Most likely you know about it because of the movie and not because of the newspapers. Especially given how long ago the papers were.
There is nothing all that exciting about this film, but it holds your attention quite well for a story about guys sitting around in the snow doing a whole lot of nothing. That is a hard sell, but they pulled it off, and did not even have big names attached (the biggest name is Ethan Hawke, but how big was he at the time?).
