I believe this have a remake titled "Society of the Snow", and most people says it was much better. Anyway, this is movie is based on true story about the rugby team from Uruguay that got stranded in the freezing Andes Mountains after their plane crashed. This is a story of survival in the blistering harsh cold mountains. I haven't watched this movie yet but I think it is good. I think I might have read this incident in a Reader's Digest journal though...
