In 1972, Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571, chartered to fly a rugby team to Chile, crashes catastrophically into a glacier in the heart of the Andes. Only 16 of the 40 passengers survive the crash, and trapped in one of the most hostile environments in the world, they are forced to resort to extreme measures to stay alive. Their survival depends on the decisions they make during this desperate situation.
The film is based on a true story and is an adaptation of Pablo Vierci's book of the same name, which documents the stories of the 16 survivors of the disaster, most of whom the writer knew since childhood.
