Editorial Review:

Amazon.com:
Director Fraser Heston captures the danger and beauty of Alaska in this adventurous family film about two kids who embark on a very personal rescue mission. Former 747 pilot Jake Barnes (Dirk Benedict) moved away from a fast-paced Chicago lifestyle with his two children, Jessie and Sean, after the death of his wife. While daughter Jessie thoroughly enjoys and excels in her new surroundings, son Sean's moodiness and homesickness escalates. One stormy night Jake's small plane crashes during an emergency flight, leaving him stuck on a treacherous cliff with a broken leg and no radio. The local search and rescue team soon gives up, prompting Sean and Jessie to kayak, hike, canoe, and rappel their way over many lush and snowy miles to save their dad.

Younger kids will enjoy the antics of Cubby, the baby polar bear who befriends the youthful trekkers and eventually leads them to their father. They'll also enjoy the good-natured sibling rivalry between the tough but tender-hearted Jessie (Thora Birch of Now and Then) and Sean (Vincent Kartheiser of The Indian in the Cupboard) and a chance to hiss at the two evil poachers (including the director's father, Charlton Heston). Parents, on the other hand, may feel compelled to explain etiquette around wild animals, the dangers of hypothermia, and how to pack for a long hike. But the scenic Cook's tour of Alaska and British Columbia makes some of these otherwise corny elements tolerable to grown-ups. --Liane Thomas

Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Alaska
This is a great family movie. The polar bear is priceless. Also if you are into mountains and scenery this movie is for you. Have watched it four times since we received it.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - excellent
i would highly recommend this to anyone interested in the outdoors or
family values.




Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Delightful Family Film
In an awesome Alaska setting, two children, one pre-teen, one teen, take off on an adventure-packed trek to rescue their father, a downed pilot. On the way they encounter poachers, setting free a polar bear cub who becomes their beacon. Improbable? Undoubtedly. One might even say impossible. Nonetheless, this was a delightful film which I shared with my grandchildren, and enjoyed every bit as much as they did.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - The perfect family movie!
This movie is the greatest family movie. The important message of "Never Give Up" is taught throughout this great heartwarming story. A broken family is bonded together again.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Absolute happy horse manure...but uplifting
A movie cannot get any further from reality and for that reason alone may not be suitable for children. If kids watch they have to understand that it is completely HAPPY HORSE MANURE.

...but it is uplifting to imagine for just a moment that the impossible is possible... I live in the Rockies so I know a fair amount about bears, severe weather, and hypothermia. Dad would have been dead long before the kids got there...the kids would never have made it there...the bad poachers would have ... Read More
