On October 13, 1972, a fight transporting a Uruguayan rugby club crashed into the Andes Mountains. 

For the following 72 days, survivors of the crash were stranded in the ice and snow, forced to survive in sub-zero temperatures, battling starvation and avalanches. 

Desperate to escape the mountains, two of the crash survivors trekked across the harsh terrain for 10 days, eventually finding rescue for the remaining survivors.
