When the group goes missing, Travis sends former CIA operative Karen Ross (Laura Linney) into the jungles in search of the group and the diamonds. Karen travels with a researcher of ape development, Peter (Dylan Walsh), and a Romanian, Herkermer (Tim Curry), who is searching for the Lost City of Zinj. Once they reach Africa, they are met by "great white hunter" Monroe Kelly (Ernie Hudson). While on their journey, they encounter a danger they had not planned on in the form of bloodthirsty gorillas. Special effects are a good addition to the story. 1 User Review

Loosely based on a true story, the focus is on the fate of Jerry Shepherd's team of sled dogs that are left behind in the Antarctic when explorers must evacuate the area during a severe storm. The dogs must survive alone over a six-month period while Jerry Shepherd fails in his attempts to rescue them. Survive they do, and their adventures provide good entertainment.
