In October 1972, a plane chartered by the Uruguayan rugby team crashed in to the snow-covered Andes. Many passengers were killed on contact, but several people survived. They only had rations for a short time. When they learned through their transistor radio that the search effort for their plane had been aborted, two team members tried to cross the Andes in search of civilization. A young medical student warned them that if they wanted to survive until help arrived they must eat the flesh of their dead compatriots. When the trekkers who succeeded in reaching Chile returned with help some time later, 16 had been kept alive through cannibalism, and 29 had died from the accident, the avalanche, and the cruelty of the weather.

A well-known story of an air crash with action sequences that are a throwback to the 1990s. But the rest is a bit boring and dull and isn’t salvaged by the few callous shots which, like it or not, had to appear due to the topic of the story.

Impressive in its time, perhaps a bit shocking, as there were relatively few of these narrative survival films until the early 1990s, and those few were only marginally impressive due to poor technical quality. Even here, there is an annoying rear projection and a few other ailments, but the impressive cinematography and the riveting Andes do their job. The bland pacing and many dull scenes, on the other hand, bring it down to average, and you basically tiptoe around the film's biggest highlight. It has lost its urgency and luster over time, but it's still solid filmmaking with a damn serious theme based on a true story. And it also stars Ethan Hawke and Lionel Messi!

A film that many people will probably remember from television. A story about how sometimes you have to do something for survival that a person wouldn't normally do. Granted, it plays a lot on emotions, sometimes unnecessarily so, but it is still a powerful story about how if a person wants to, they can cope with the consequences of fate. Unfortunately, not everyone can survive.
