Alive
The amazing true story of a Uruguayan rugby team's plane that crashed in the middle of the Andes mountains, and their immense will to survive and pull through alive, forced to do anything and everything they could to stay alive on meager rations and through the freezing cold.
Critics Sentiment
Helicopters arrive to rescue the remaining survivors
Avalanche buries the fuselage killing eight more survivors
The film's biggest swing occurs from the devastating avalanche sequence to the successful mountain trek, rising from despair to determination as the survivors find their path to salvation.
Alive follows a classic survival arc that begins strongly with an acclaimed crash sequence, descends into despair through mounting casualties and the search being called off, then gradually builds to an emotionally powerful rescue finale. Critics consistently praised the film's respectful handling of difficult subject matter and its focus on human determination, though some found character development lacking and survival elements less convincing than the true story deserved.
