The newest is the “movie that will never be shown in flight on a long-haul flight.” The true account of Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571, which crashed in the middle of the Andes in 1972 while being chartered to transport a rugby team to Chile, is told in Society of the Snow. Of the 45 passengers on board, only 29 made it out alive. They are forced to take drastic measures in order to survive because they are stranded in one of the planet’s most harsh and inaccessible places.

Before they take the flight across the Alps, we get to meet the rugby team, a group of twenty something students, and they soon come to the realisation that something is wrong with the journey just before the plane crashes. There have been far too many realistic plane accidents in the past, but this one is not sensationalised, even though there are some frightening moments when limbs rip off as the fuselage shatters and comes to a stop in the midst of the Andes in the dead of winter. The disaster claims the lives of 19 passengers, while the remaining 29 suffer from varied degrees of trauma. The survivors’ chances of survival appear slim because, if the intense cold didn’t claim their lives, it would have been the result of the crash. They are essentially pin prick spots on a huge white expanse, so rescue planes are unable to find them. As a result, the search is called off, eliminating any possibility of life.

However, they do survive, and the way they do so garnered attention throughout the world since they resorted to cannibalism in order to survive. To be fair, anyone who has taken a long-haul journey will know how terrible the meals are in the air and would probably resort to cannibalism before consuming any of those extra meals. Once more, it would have been simple to sensationalise this part of the narrative, but Bayona chooses not to focus on it when the passengers eventually have to prepare the dead for food, which is thankfully done out of sight.
