Society of the Snow Trailer
Directed by J.A. Bayona (
The
Orphanage,
The Impossible),
Society of the Snow recounts the
1972 crash of Uruguayan Air Force Flight
571 in the Andes, particularly how a group
of survivors struggled to stay alive in
hopes they'd be rescued. The flight was
carrying a total of 45 passengers,
including 19 members of a rugby team, as
well as their friends, families, and
supporters. The movie is based on the book
of the same name by Pablo Vierci. The
doomed flight was previously the subject
of the 1993 film
Alive starring
Ethan Hawke. That film was based on Piers
Paul Read's 1974 bestseller
Alive: The
Story of the Andes Survivors.
