Eight Below

Inspired by a true story and the hit Japanese film NANKYOKU MONOGATARI, Frank Marshall's (ALIVE, CONGO) EIGHT BELOW captures a rugged world of ice, snow, and threatening weather that few will ever experience in person. As a guide for a National Science Foundation Research Base in Antarctica, Jerry Shepard (Paul Walker) is perfectly content to spend his time exploring the wilderness with his sled dogs and goofing around with his best buddy, cartographer Charlie Cooper (Jason Biggs). Then UCLA geologist Davis McLaren (Bruce Greenwood) arrives at the camp with plans for a risky expedition: treacherous ice fields make his target destination accessible only by dog sled so late in the season. Soon Shepard, McLaren and the sled dogs--Maya, Max, Old Jack, Buck, Shorty, Dewey, Shadow, and Truman--are on their way in search of McLaren's prize: a meteorite from Mercury. <br> <br> Unfortunately, an approaching storm forces Shepard and McLaren to return to base early. The return trip proves life-threatening, but th...

Pros well-trained, beautiful dogs; human acting; presentation
Cons ending pretty unrealistic
Recommended it? Yes

Topping out films at the box office in 2006, Disney's Eight Below was inspired by the 1983 Japanese film, Nankyoku Monogatari, which was faithfully based on the true-life expedition of Japanese scientists to Antarctica in 1958. It too was one of the year's biggest movies for Japan and I'm looking... Read full review »

Pros scenery, story

Recommended it? Yes

At first I thought this was another children's movie and I wouldn't be interested in the storyline until I read a few reviews and realized it is a story about survival in the harshest conditions. I particularly like stories that involve techniques of survival like I've seen in Everest! and K-2, but... Read full review »

Eight Below [P&S]

Eight brave sled dogs search for the master who is looking for a way to rescue them in this adventure drama. An American geologist (Bruce Greenwood) flies to Antarctica to participate in a project at the United States Research Base, where he teams up with arctic guide Jerry Shepard (Paul Walker) and his best friend, Cooper (Jason Biggs). The scientist soon discovers that Shepard also has eight other valuable friends -- a pack of sled dogs he's worked with for years, who have rescued him from a number of tight spots. As the three men explore a frozen mountain region, an unexpected accident coupled with a massive storm front forces them to fly to safety, leaving the dogs behind. Shepard is determined to rescue his canine friends, but he has to wait until the weather will allow him to travel back to the mountain, while the dogs struggle against the elements to survive as they attempt to make their way back home. Eight Below was inspired by a true story involving Japanese researchers exploring the Antarctic in 1957; the story was made into the film Nankyoku Monogatari. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi
