    [Highly rated reviewer]

    my 9 year old daughter loved this film. Jake Barnes played by Dirk Benedict crashes his Piker Cub aeroplane, during a storm around Devil's Thumb in the Alaskan wilderness. He is a former airline pilot, now delivering toilet paper across the mountains, after moving to Alaska with his children after the death of his wife.

    His two children, Jessie played by Thora Birch from Hocus Pocus fame, and Sean played by Vincent Kartheiser from Angel, decide to find him themselves, when it seems that the search and rescue teams, are going to give him up for dead.

    during their journey in the Alaskan wilderness, they rescue a captured bear cub earning its gratitude, and the poacher's wrath. Between the poachers and coping with nature there are some harrowing moments in this film.

    Jake, the children's father, after the crash, is stuck on a treacherous cliff with a broken leg and no radio, he is desperate to be saved, but little does he know that his children are on their way.

    Sean and Jessie have to kayak, hike, canoe, and abseil their way, over many lush and snowy miles to save their dad.

    Younger kids like my daughter, will enjoy the antics of Cubby, the baby polar bear, who befriends the youthful trekkers, and eventually leads them to their father.

    this film is well worth renting out.

    What a load of nonsense. From start to finish this was awful. Appalling dialogue, unreal characterisation, poor acting. American schmaltz at its worst.
