“In 1972, Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571, which had been chartered to fly a rugby team to Chile, crashed in the heart of the Andes,” reads the synopsis. “Only 29 of its 45 passengers survived the accident. Trapped in one of the most hostile and inaccessible environments on the planet, they have to resort to extreme measures to stay alive.”

Society of the Snow is directed by J.A. Bayona from a screenplay he co-wrote with Bernat Vilaplana, Jaime Marques, and Nicolás Casariego.
