Based on an amazing true story that inspired the world and captured the hearts of millions. When a family of gray whales is trapped by rapidly forming ice in the Arctic Circle, a small-town reporter and an animal-loving volunteer rally an unlikely coalition of Alaskan natives, oil tycoons and the Russian and U.S. military to set aside their differences and free the whales before it is too late.
