Alive
The triumph of the human spirit.
Directed by Frank Marshall
Produced by Touchstone Pictures, The Kennedy/Marshall Company
A harrowing true-survival drama that balances the brutal physical and moral extremes of a plane crash against the bonds of human solidarity and will to live.
The amazing true story of a Uruguayan rugby team's plane that crashed in the middle of the Andes mountains, and their immense will to survive and pull through alive, forced to do anything and everything they could to stay alive on meager rations and through the freezing cold.
