In a mission to find rare meteorite from the planet mercury in Antarctica. Jerry Shepard (Paul Walker) who is a guide at the research base has to leave his Huskies behind as treacherous winter weather approaches.
Back at home, Shepard is guilt ridden about leaving his dogs and is determined in rescuing the dogs.
However the main part of the film is the dogs story. The dogs break free of their chains except for Old Jack who is too old and dies at the base camp.
The rest of the dogs hunt seals, birds and penguins to survive. One of the dogs gets fatally injured while looking at the southern lights one night, another is attacked and injured by a seal when they find whale meat. It may be too late for her unless she is rescued in time.
The Huskies are the real stars of the movie, the way they act on screen and inject personality is well done. The icy landscape is breathtaking the humans in many ways take back seat.
The film is inspired by a true Japanese story. The late Paul Walker shows great love for the dogs and its nice to know that he will not just be remembered for the Fast and Furious films. Jason Biggs provides comic relief.
