A helicopter pilot work with a husband and his wife in the frozen North tagging foxes for the Environmental Protection Agency. When an avalanche hits the group, the husband is killed and only by the pilot's perseverance is the wife saved. Two years later, the wife takes on a corporation which wants to extend an oil pipeline across the tundra above Juneau. She is convinced that this will cause an avalanche on the town. Of course, she is rejected by the corporation executives. She recruits the pilot to try to aid her, but with no success.

SnoReptilePlenty Memorable, crazy movie
Manthast Absolutely amazing
Myron Clemons A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.
Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
apfraats The movie isn't as bad as many of the voters up till now are saying. The movie is nice to watch, although it isn't a high budget Hollywood movie as STAR WARS 3. So, you may expect that the special effects and avalanches shown are not as real as you could get them , but still they are acceptable. The story makes up for it. Don't watch this movie for it's special effects, but just to see a nice watchable movie which is in general of medium+ quality, taking all things together.The is certain a tension building up while watching the movie, which is also a little predictable, but, again, still acceptable.Generally speaking, the votes on IMDb are low, for many many movies. Why ? I don't know. It's isn't me, I think, having watched 1000+ DVD's. Indeed there are bad made movies, but this one isn't all that bad at all. If you wanted to see a movie , just for fun, with no complicated but reasonable enjoyable plot, this is surely one for rent.I'll give it 7 point, just making a statement it's not a super movie but worth watching.
beegeebright It really is about as bad a movie as I have ever seen. It is hard to find a single redeeming thing to say about it. The acting was awful; the romance totally unbelievable. I guess I'd never seen Juneau before in a movie. I would recommend that you watch it only if trapped in a mountain cabin room with a TV but no other furniture, books, people, radios or light and if you aren't tired already because this one will certainly put you to sleep. I like disaster movies and can watch the worst of them, and have, but this one has made me rethink ever watching one ever again. It gave a whole new meaning to the catchphrase disaster movie, it is a disaster to watch, not just about a disaster.
myke00-1 I have just watched the movie on late night TV. I think the writers and every other person involved in making this movie should have done a little research and found out a few things about Alaska, Juneau and polar bears. In one scene the two main characters are chased by polar bears. Sorry but there are not any that south around Juneau. The caribou also run way more to the north unless they were trying to say in the film that they were able to get all the way to the north part of Alaska in a matter of a few minutes of flying. I think the next time Juneau let someone come in and film about the city they should read the script first. I do agree that the stock footage is much to be desired.
Shawn Watson After starring in a movie such as Vampires one would expect Thomas Ian Griffith to not make a movie like this. It's about an evil company that builds an oil pipeline thru a snowy mountain town and causes an avalanche when it goes haywire. The avalanche FX and the terribly interwoven stock footage are the worst I've ever seen. You'll have a hot seeing how awful it is and how anyone involved with the film could allow them to be so poor. See this on TV like I did. Don't rent it. It's seriously bad. 1/10
