A Great Family-Adventure Movie destined to be an Instant Classic
This movie is great with a great cast including Oscar-Winning actor Charlton Heston who plays a Villainous Poacher and Dirk Benedict who plays a pilot and father of 2 teenage kids who moved from Chicago to Alaska (played by Thora Birch and Vincent Kartheiser) goes missing after a airplane accident and gets stranded in the mountains, but of course these two embark on an incredible journey to find him and learn not to give up, great cinematography of the Alaskan landscapes and some scenes of the Northern Lights, great music score that you don't find in any other family film unlike "the Rescuers Down Under", "Balto" or "Free Willy", great adventure sequences, great action sequences, a cute animal sidekick which is a Polar Bear cub who is captured by the poachers in this film and this truly has a great plot. this is the kind of movie from the mid 90's you would want to watch with your family and friends over and over again and destined to be an instant classic for years to come and it's worth it!
