Based on a story of survival of an Alaskan plane crash which left Donald and Afton Blanc and several passengers alone and abandoned on a rocky and unreachable mountaintop. With the airplane on fire, the pilot incapacitated with two broken legs, a dying copilot, a little boy, and two pregnant woman, Donald Blanc works to signal search and rescue. In a wreck like this, survival is near impossible. The Coast Guard doesn't believe there could be survivors. With thick fog and worsening conditions and a reluctant search and rescue team, how can the ordinary man do the extraordinary to save six lives when all seems lost?
