When the Endurance becomes trapped and eventually crushed by Antarctic pack ice in 1915, Ernest Shackleton leads his 27-man crew through an epic fight for survival across shifting ice floes, a perilous open-boat journey, and an uncharted mountain crossing of South Georgia Island. Through extraordinary leadership and unyielding determination, Shackleton brings every single member of his expedition home alive after nearly two years in the harshest environment on Earth.
