Alive

Alive is the true story of intense human endurance and survival. Based on the real life experience of sixteen Uruguayan rugby players who survived a plane crash and the 72 treacherous days thereafter stranded high up in the wintry desolation of the Andes mountains. The film depicts the graphically explicit and shocking break-up of the plane crashing into the mountain, and the horrors of survival thereafter as ordinary young men and women find the courage to endure, meeting each day’s challenge with hope and courage, and the determination to survive against all odds.
