A helicopter pilot work with a husband and his wife in the frozen North tagging foxes for the Environmental Protection Agency. When an avalanche hits the group, the husband is killed and only by the pilot's perseverance is the wife saved. Two years later, the wife takes on a corporation which wants to extend an oil pipeline across the tundra above Juneau. She is convinced that this will cause an avalanche on the town. Of course, she is rejected by the corporation executives. She recruits the pilot to try to aid her, but with no success.

Escape from Alaska Audience Reviews

Alicia I love this movie so much
Greenes Please don't spend money on this.
Beanbioca As Good As It Gets
BelSports This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
iamtankman This poor excuse for a movie was absolutely horrible. Poor writing and acting. Total garbage. Don't waste your time. I'd rather crawl through 2 miles of broken glass and then roll through the shafts of a salt mine then watch this movie again. R. Lee Ermey is a good TV show host, but a horrible actor. The special effects suck. It's so low budget, they use the same avalanche footage again and again for 3 separate avalanches. The music is terrible. Lets see, what else can I say to express how terrible this movie is? I'm really trying to express to you that this has to be one of the worst movies ever. Will someone please shoot me now? I'm just going to copy and paste this again. This poor excuse for a movie was absolutely horrible. Poor writing and acting. Total garbage. Don't waste your time.

beegeebright It really is about as bad a movie as I have ever seen. It is hard to find a single redeeming thing to say about it. The acting was awful; the romance totally unbelievable. I guess I'd never seen Juneau before in a movie. I would recommend that you watch it only if trapped in a mountain cabin room with a TV but no other furniture, books, people, radios or light and if you aren't tired already because this one will certainly put you to sleep. I like disaster movies and can watch the worst of them, and have, but this one has made me rethink ever watching one ever again. It gave a whole new meaning to the catchphrase disaster movie, it is a disaster to watch, not just about a disaster.
director24F Want one Reason to buy or watch Avalanche 1999? Want it or not it's Hilary Shepard as Annie. Let the non-existent polar bear eat the others, but give me more of that killer babe in those tight spray-on pants. Like the best wines she just keeps getting better with age. Great casting, even better wardrobe, and who cares what she says or doesn't! She looks great doing it !!!!! Stock footage? Who cares???? Hilary forgives a multitude of sins! If she were on the other side of the confessional, I wouldn't miss going! Avalanche is a better view than the nightly news, a credit I'd take, and cash is cash - no pro on the pic has anything to be embarrassed about. Not every pic needs to have or can have a 'billion' dollar budget. It's a watch able film & I'd for one visit Alaska because of it. It's probably more accurate, true to life, etc. than Election 2004. A good film to have on in the background or work to.
gmalav5877 It still is hard to believe that PM Entertainment/Sunland Studios exited the video market after producing such great movies as this. Maybe they won't win any Academy awards but for the blue collar video fan their films were hard to beat. I liked Avalanche aka Escape From Alaska for a number of reasons. It was a believable movie given the pending oil exploration in Alsaka in real life. Ever since Seige of Firebase Gloria and Full Metal Jacket I've been a big fan of R. Lee Ermey. C. Thomas Howell is a bankable actor with a devoted video following and does a good job in this film. The character of Dr. Lia Freeman, the crusading enviornmentalist, is given real character with the personal problems exhibited by actress Caroleen Feeney. So maybe the special effects where done on a budget and people in the "biz" can pick at them but to my eye they look great. I think a lot of people will enjoy this movie for what it is, a nice action adventure film with recognizable names that draws its inspiration from today's headlines.
