Eight Below (2006)
The fierce Antarctic winter is just setting in when an intrepid1 team of explorers and scientists on a research mission-survival guide Jerry Shepard, his best friend and cartographer Cooper and the rugged2 geologist3 Davis--just narrowly escape a fatal accident, thanks to their steadfast4 team of eight skilled sled dogs.
Forced to evacuate5, the men must leave the beloved dogs behind in the frozen wilds--with a promise they will return. But when the storm of the century approaches, cutting off all means of travel, the dogs are stranded6.
Now, as the intelligent, courageous7 dogs--including noble pack leader Maya, rambunctious8 rebel Shorty and rising young alpha-in-training Max--fight to make it through the most unforgiving winter on the planet, the heartbroken Jerry is driven to mount a seemingly impossible rescue mission, aided by a beautiful and adventurous9 bush pilot, Katie.
Held together only by unwavering bonds of friendship, the humans and the dogs alike make a remarkable10 journey of grit11, endurance and belief to find one another again in this spectacular but perilous12 land.
