Jerry Shepard (Walker), a guide at the National Science Foundation Research Base, has a pretty good life, spending his days with his best friend, cartographer Charlie Cooper (Jason Biggs), playing poker, and exploring the Antarctic wilderness with his sled dogs—Old Jack, Maya, Max, Shadow, Buck, Truman, Dewey, and Shorty. But the arrival of a UCLA geologist and subsequent exploration finds them fleeing a sudden storm and narrowly escaping death, thanks to the actions of his heroic dogs. And it's this same storm that forces them to evacuate the base, leaving the dogs behind. Will Jerry make it back in time to save his canine companions? (It's a Disney film, you figure it out.) (Jack Kelley)
