The dozens of times I've crossed Donner Pass, I always thought about this. Especially the time I got stuck there and 8 feet of snow covered my vehicle in a gas station parking lot on the Sac side on my way up, toward Reno. Everyone there was snowed in for 4 days straight. The store miraculously kept their doors open and they went around with law enforcement, firemen, Civil Air Patrol and rescuers making sure everyone was staying alive. Lord have mercy this movie brings it home what it was before cars!

Crispin Glover always plays some dark, menacing or quirky character, I have always liked him.

I have Backpacked (in all 4-Seasons) all over the Sierra Nevada's for quite a number of years and can tell you, that even without Snow falling, or, on the ground, the terratory is very rugged and can be extreamly inhospitable to the unprepared. The tempratures can drop suddenly and thunderstorms can appear randomly. With Snow on the ground, within that rugged environment it is very slow going. Snowshoes are pretty much only effective on the flats...and there isn't much of it for the most part. The guy that got hurt here in the movie, very easy to do. All it takes is either a mis-step to twist an ankle or with snow on the ground you run the risk of stepping into a sink-hole and breaking a leg. The amount of calories one burns is unimaginable...replacing those calories is a constant effort, under the best of conditions. The wind can chill you to the bone. And, if you are wet from sweat, you better get dry as soon as possible or run the risk of Hypothermia within minutes. Couple all of this with the stress factor that these folks experienced and it is beyond imaginable...an Iron Will to Survive would be the only way out. Great Movie.

I worked outside for 29 years in the rain and snow.. Its was wet cold and very tiring climbing through knee deep snow looking for frozen numbers in the snow.. I have so much sympathy for having to survive in the wet and cold.. Wet feet frozen hands and wet cloths.. But nothing I am sure comes close to what those people suffered..

The cabins they lived in was log with fur roofs. They ended up eating the fur and hide on the roof/rugs because they were so hungry.

I wouldn't want to be amongst this group of folks. They'd rather eat each other than forage for food that God provides even in the coldest of winter.

Lived in the bush my whole life! I would guess the people suffered far more than a movie could ever show!

Once hunger and exhaustion kick in in cold temperatures all you want to do is sleep and it's so difficult to wake yourself up if theirs nothing to eat just more hiking carrying your tent etc. I've only been in that situation on one trip with a m8 and we losed our dehydrated food somewhere along the root and thought we'd be OK and we were thanks to coffee n chocolate but it was still really tough not having a hot meal at the end of the day but coffee and a chocolate bar is more than these people had.
