Plot: Widower Jake Barnes (Dirk Benedict) moves with his daughter and son to a fishing village in Alaska, and earns his keep as a bush pilot by ferrying supplies to remote locations throughout the state. While the daughter loves her new home, the son cannot stand it, and is impatiently waiting until he is grown up enough to move away. However, they join forces to look for their father when they learn that he has gone down in an airplane accident. The official search party is called off and Jake is assumed dead, but the children will have none of it, and go off on their own into the Alaskan wilderness. Along the way, they thwart a big-game poacher (Charlton Heston) and his sidekick, and learn about survival in the wilderness. A highlight of the film is its fine footage of wild Alaska. ~ Clarke Fountain, All Movie Guide

Great wilderness movie

This just another great movie.... The polar bear cub and the relationship with the two children is amazing. Sceneries are great. I watched it many times, and I'm not a family kind movie fan... 5 STARS

Alaska is a really dangerous place to fly an airplane

Both the river stunts and the nature photography in this picture are excellent, but the plot is mostly unbelievable.
A man exposed in a small airplane in sub-freezing temperature for a week may live two days, maybe if he has really warm clothes.
Not a week while his kids hike in...
And the bear cub attaching itself to the teenagers: that doesn't seem likely either.
Most of the plot is a Dizzy type made for kids movie.The most believable thing in the movie is the Carlton Heston villain of a helicopter poacher!

This is a great family movie. The polar bear is priceless. Also if you are into mountains and scenery this movie is for you. Have watched it four times since we received it.
