Ethan Hawke, Vincent Spano and Josh Hamilton star in this
real-life drama -- infamous for an incident of cannibalism -- based on the book by Piers
Paul Read. The story follows a South American Rugby team after their plane crashes in the
Andes Mountains.
SEX/NUDITY 0 - None
VIOLENCE/GORE 7 - No violence of the regular action movie type -- that is,
no fighting or shooting. However, the plane crash results in various unpleasant scenes of
gore. One man's leg is slit open, a steel rod goes through the stomach of another man.
Limbs are shown in a state of decay from gangrene. The pilot's head is shown against the
cockpit window, which is smeared with blood. There are glimpses of people sawing hunks off
dead bodies: both the dismemberment and consumption of dead bodies is lingered over by the
camera. There's nothing tasteful about cannibalism, so a lot of flinching is unavoidable.
