Arctic (2018)
Overgård is stranded in the Arctic Circle waiting for rescue, living in his crashed plane. His daily routine consists of checking fishing lines, mapping his surroundings and running a distress beacon powered by a hand-crank dynamo. One day, his supply of fish is raided by a polar bear. A helicopter responds to his beacon and attempts to land, but crashes. The pilot is killed and the passenger, is severely injured and unconscious. Overgård dresses her wound and takes her to his plane. She does not speak English and only proves her alertness by squeezing his hand.
Overgård returns to the wreckage of the downed helicopter and finds some food, a propane cook stove, medical equipment, a sled, a map of the area and a photo of the woman, the pilot and their child, which he brings back for her. On the map, he locates a seasonal refuge that appears to be a few days’ trek away. When the woman’s condition does not improve, he decides he must risk the journey to the refuge to seek rescue. He secures the woman to the sled and drags her behind him.
