There is a special category of films, where nature becomes an unstable antagonist. In the forest, the desert, uninhabited island or in the middle of the ocean, a person can oppose it only one-only force - will be in life. We made a selection of nine films in which real prototypes and fictional heroes fight for life away from civilization.

127 hours, 2010
He never called mom
Another real story of struggle. Mountaineer Arone Ralston goes to the canyon, without warning anyone from close friends and relatives.
