Recounts the extraordinary true story of polar explorer Sir Ernest Shackleton's heroic but ill-starred attempt to cross Antarctica in 1914-1916. Shackleton's ship, the Endurance, was trapped in the pack ice of the Weddell Sea. Ten months later, the ship sank stranding Shackleton and his crew of 27. Based on their diaries and first person accounts, the film tells of their ordeal and their 800-mile journey in a open boat across the world's worst seas.
