A chilling retelling of the 1972 Andes plane crash in Society of the Snow: The movie is based on the true events of the plane crash that carried the Uruguayan rugby team as well as their family and friends to Santiago, Chile for an exhibition game in 1972.

This is a story of survival and a modern take after the 1993 version Alive. On October 13, 1972, a plane from Uruguay en route to Santiago, Chile crashed in the Andes with 45 passengers onboard, including the Old Christians rugby team and their families, friends, and supporters. When rescuers arrived 72 days later, only 16 had survived. Their survival relied on faith, union, morality, and the survival of the fittest — the ones who did survive resorted to cannibalism.

If you’re a nervous flier, we wouldn't advise watching it. Aside from that, the gruesome realities of survival and the empathy you build for each character will move you. News outlets were quick to praise the movie, saying that it filled the gaps that the 1993 film missed and calling it a more “ gripping take ” and “ nerve-shredding ” since it provided more details on each passenger’s fate, including names, relations, and occupation.

WHERE TO WATCH IT- You can watch Society of the Snow on Netflix.
