On October 13, 1972, a young rugby team from Uruguay boarded a plane to Chile—and vanished into thin air. Two days before Christmas, 16 of the 45 passengers miraculously resurfaced. They managed to survive for 72 days on an Andean glacier. Thirty-five years later, they now return to the crash site.
It is one of the most astonishing survival tales of all time, and this remarkable documentary, both horrific and inspiring, intimate and beautiful, does justice to a true story as riveting as any fiction. An official selection at Sundance, and hailed by critics as one of the best films of 2008.
