The Endurance (2000). 1h 37m | G

“At any point in this expedition, many would have given up or run out of ideas, but Ernest Shackletonu0026#39;s attitude reminds one of the Apollo 13 support crews in that failure was not an option. Everything great about the human species is seen in the efforts to discover an escape route from the pack ice, to find food in an almost lunar landscape and to send at least a few sailors to an island near the shipping lanes hundreds of miles from camp, the last chance for anyone to discover that Enduranceu0026#39;s crew was still alive. Shackletonu0026#39;s refusal to give up, as well as resourcefulness in making unwasteful decisions, was the main reason for the rescue of the entire crew. Other than sled dogs, the antarctic didnu0026#39;t claim a single life – from this crew, anyway.”
