Ordeal in the Arctic background

Ordeal in the Arctic

Stranded in the harsh Arctic environment, a group of passengers must endure freezing temperatures and treacherous conditions for 32 hours after their military flight crashes near Alert base in Nunavut, awaiting rescue.

The military flight Boxtop 22, en route to Canada's Northwest Territories, becomes a desperate struggle for survival after a crash. Of the 18 on board, 14 survive, including Captain Wilma De Groot, a medical doctor. As the harsh cold sets in, the survivors' hopes dwindle, particularly for those who cannot be moved near the only campfire. Rescue efforts, delayed by distance and weather, take 32 hours to reach the wreckage.
