Summary of The Endurance - Shackleton's Legendary Antarctic Expedition
Narrated by liam neeson. In august 1914 sir ernest shackleton set sail with 27 men on his ship the endurance. His plan was to be the first expedition to cross the antarctic continent. Considered by experts to be the greatest adventure ever. Studio: Sony Pictures Home Ent Release Date: 10/28/2008 Run time: 97 minutes Rating: G Director: George ButlerSeveral films have documented or dramatized the incredible saga of Ernest Shackleton's ill-fated trans-Antarctic expedition, but The Endurance offers the most comprehensive one-source reference. Originally presented as a PBS Nova special and narrated by Liam Neeson, this excellent film--based on Caroline Alexander's acclaimed book, also titled after the ironic name of Shackleton's doomed ship--chronicles the astonishing events of 1914-16, when Shackleton and 27 crewmen survived against all odds after their ship was crushed in the polar ice floes. This is the only "Shackleton" film to incorporate new footage, expert interviews, dramatic recreations (without dialogue), and expedition photographer Frank Hurley's archival film and photographs. The cumulative effect of this extensive material gives the viewer an almost palpable sense of the expedition's hardship and unlikely survival, made possible in part by a man who had precisely the required experience and leadership skills, and in part by what can only be described as divine intervention. No matter how you interpret it, this is rightly called "the greatest survival story ever told." --Jeff Shannon
