The fierce Antarctic winter is just setting in when an intrepid team of explorers and scientists on a research mission—survival guide Jerry Shepard (PAUL WALKER), his best friend and cartographer Cooper (JASON BIGGS) and the rugged geologist Davis (BRUCE GREENWOOD)—just narrowly escape a fatal accident, thanks to their steadfast team of eight skilled sled dogs.
Forced to evacuate, the men must leave the beloved dogs behind in the frozen wilds—with a promise they will return. But when the storm of the century approaches, cutting off all means of travel, the dogs are stranded. Now, as the intelligent, courageous dogs—including noble pack leader Maya, rambunctious rebel Shorty and rising young alphain- training Max—fight to make it through the most unforgiving winter on the planet, the heartbroken Jerry is driven to mount a seemingly impossible rescue mission, aided by a beautiful and adventurous bush pilot, Katie (MOON BLOODGOOD).
Held together only by unwavering bonds of friendship, the humans and the dogs alike make a remarkable journey of grit, endurance and belief to find one another again in this spectacular but perilous land.

Since the story of Eight Below revolves around the bravery of a group of sled dogs, the filmmakers decided to use both Hollywood hounds—Siberian huskies and Alaskan malamutes—and a native breed known as the Greenland dog. The Greenland dog originated in the coastal Arctic regions of northern Siberia, Alaska, and Greenland and is believed to be one of the most ancient breeds. All three of the breeds used are classified as “working dog” breeds, which are genetically adapted to frigid temperatures; hence they were ideal for work in this film.
