Plot summary

Starring: Ethan Hawke, Josh Hamilton, Vincent Spano, Bruce Ramsay
A group of Uruguayan rugby players make an annual trip to Chile with friends and family. The pilots make a mistake and think that they have passed the Andes Mountains but they haven't. Rescue searches give up on them and they run out of food. They are then forced to eat the bodies of their friends that died. Finally, Nando and Roberto walk out of the Andes to seek rescue.

Suggested correction: There is no pig snout. That is the end of a sleeve that has meat in it for their trip.
Carlitos Páez: Hey, I'll pay for pizza if you go get it.
Trivia: The guy who first follows Parrada and Canessa on their expedition to find Chile is nicknamed Tintin. In one of the most famous Tintin albums the cartoon hero goes to the Himalayas to find a friend who is reported dead after a plane crash in the mountains. Most likely a coincidence, but still notable.
Question: What does Cannessa mean when he says "I had no premonition. So much for ESP,"?
Answer: ESP stands for Extra Sensory Perception, the ability to see into the future or predict it in the form of a premonition. He means that whatever happened, he literally didn't see it coming.
