The Edge
(1997)
Synopsis
A plane crash in the freezing Alaskan wilderness pits intellectual billionaire Charles Morse (Hopkins) against self-satisfied fashion photographer Robert Green (Baldwin) in a brutal struggle for survival.

The Edge has an unlikely pedigree for an outdoors survival saga; it's directed by New Zeland director Lee Tamahori (Mulholland Falls, Once we Were Warriors) and written by American urban dramatist David Mamet.
