In the era of jets and superhighways, it's a shocking realization that only 100 years or so ago, getting from one place to another wasn't that easy, and could be fatal.
Once this story of gold-seekers heading for the Yukon starts to depict the actual trek over the Chilcoot Pass and what lay beyond, you get a real feeling for the hardships these people endured. In an age when many people are annoyed that they can't get a closer parking spot at the mall, watching the reenactment of people making fifty back and forth trips carrying supplies on their back over a wintry mountain pass should give pause for thought.
The movie is relentless in showing the difficulty in achieving the goal of rushing for gold. It doesn't do as well in the dramatic interaction among the players, but that is easily overlooked because it is so interesting to learn this piece of history.
