When Noralty Oil ignores warnings about the dangers in the Colombian border area, eight of its employees (Canadians and one American Navajo) working on a pipeline in Ecuador are kidnapped by the well-organized guerrilla group which demands a $20,000,000 ransom, which the company refuses to pay. The guerrillas force the hostages deep into the Amazon jungle where they hide from the army. Forty long days of marching leaves the hostages in such bad shape that they must finally be brought into an insurgent camp. The Canadian embassy, skeptical save for one RMCP sergeant, can only negotiate about the cost of the ransom. —KGF Vissers/R.M. Sieger

Trivia
On one of the last nights of filming in Edmonton, the temperature was twenty below zero and the entire cast and crew were freezing, so heating bars were brought out and placed around the set. Between scenes, the cast would gather around them to warm up. However, no one noticed that the blue jumpsuits the leads were wearing might not be heat-resistant. It isn't visible in the final film, but at least one pair of blue jumpsuit pants had melted across the front during filming, exposing white lining.

Canadian Pipeline workers are taken as hostages. The story follows the families and politics behind the release.

Interesting movie of how Canadian hostages struggle to survive, and how the authorities work for their release. The story revolves around the hostages and their internal struggle to keep moral high. Fairly good directing and genuine acting. I'd give the movie 7/10.
