Overview

The plane carrying wealthy Charles Morse crashes down in the Alaskan wilderness. Together with the two other passengers, photographer Robert and assistant Stephen, Charles devises a plan to help them reach civilization. However, his biggest obstacle might not be the elements, or even the Kodiak bear stalking them -- it could be Robert, whom Charles suspects is having an affair with his wife and would not mind seeing him dead.

Fortunately, he was a boy scout as a kid - he knows how to light a fire, to make a compass from a leaf and so armed with a somewhat optimistically stoic attitude they set off to find civilisation. Not long into their journey, they pick up an unwanted guest - a 1,200lb Kodiak bear - and it is as hungry as they are lost. It…
