This stirring tale of adventure boasts a fine cast and hazardous action. It's winter, 1917, and there are fiery passions amid the snows of Winnipeg, Canada. As competitors gather for a 500-mile dog sled race to Minnesota, USA, attention focuses on young Will Stoneman (Mackenzie Astin). He's an American farm boy who is hoping that the prize money will save his family from poverty. Harry Kingsley (Kevin Spacey) is a journalist with a nose for a good story, and Borg Guillarson (George Gerdes) is a formidable competitor. Events move to a gripping conclusion, with director Charles Haid keeping action and emotions on a firm leash.
