From Fred Schepisi, the director of The Chant of Jimmie Blacksmith, Barbarosa, A Cry in the Dark and Six Degrees of Separation comes an amazing, unforgettable journey of humanity. Timothy Hutton (Ordinary People), John Lone (The Last Emperor) and Lindsay Crouse (House of Games) star in this suspenseful drama about a team of Arctic researchers who find a 40,000-year-old man frozen in ice and bring him back to life. Anthropologist Stanley Shephard (Hutton) wants to befriend the Iceman (Lone) and learn about the man’s past; Dr. Diane Brady (Crouse) and her surgical team want to discover the secret that will allow man to live in a frozen state. When the Iceman becomes part of their lives, the results are emotionally shattering. Beautifully shot on location in Canada’s breathtaking snowy wilderness by Ian Baker (Plenty, Roxanne). The strong supporting cast includes David Strathairn (Good Night, and Good Luck.), Danny Glover (Lethal Weapon), Josef Sommer (Witness) and James Tolkan (Back to the Future).
