About this movie

Two against the Wilderness! From the best-selling novel by William Judson comes a remarkable saga of courage and triumph against overwhelming odds that is described as "Spellbinding" by the Cleveland Press. In late autumn 1923, veteran woodsman Mike Allison (Richard Jaeckel) sets out on a camping expedition in the Adirondack wilderness with his daughter Lizzy (Suzanne Weber) and her step-brother Tim (Pat Petersen). When tragedy strikes, the two children must face a desperate struggle for survival through the treacherous wilderness and find their way back to civilization. Their courage and resourcefulness compel you to cheer them on and in the final moments in their quest for survival, you are left enraptured by the tale with a renewed faith in human fortitude.
