A plane whose occupants are an American Football team crash lands in the Himalayas and the few survivors must band together in the wreckage of the plane and try to survive. They stack the dead bodies of their friends in the ice, and it doesn't take long for before thoughts of cannibalism enter their minds. That is until one of them spots a large snow beast dragging one of the dead bodies away. The group's real terror begins once they realize that a Yeti standing about 12 feet tall is planning on using them as a food source. Taking cues from plenty of sources, mostly the "Alive" true story and film, this Sci-Fi Channel movie comes up short on too many levels to speak of. The biggest sin is the Yeti itself is a digitally created mess that hops through the snow looking like a kangaroo more than anything someone would be scared of. And speaking of scares, there are none. Sure the red stuff hits the white snow and some severed limbs are left lying on the ice, but the monster is so stupid and unbelievable nothing else in this movie has a chance to work. The actors try hard but the script doesn't give them much to work with.
