Inspired by a true story, EIGHT BELOW is an action-adventure about loyalty and the bonds of friendship set in the extreme wilderness of Antarctica. The film tells the story of three members of a scientific expedition: Jerry Shepard, his best friend, Cooper, and a rugged American geologist, who are forced to leave behind their team of beloved sled dogs (Maya, Max, Old Jack, Buck, Shorty ...) due to a sudden accident and perilous weather conditions in Antarctica. During the harsh, Antarctic winter, the dogs must struggle for survival alone in the intense frozen wilderness for over 6 months until Jerry came back to seek for his beloved heroes of dogs.
(some parts from Yahoo! Movie)It is a touching story strongly recommended for dog lovers and also to people who are willing to take the risk for things that really matters to them. Truly enough, it's another successful inspiration by Disney, which has a moral value behind every story it unfold. I personally love it very much.
