MORGAN'S RATING |
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
|
| A film crew travels to the Austrian Alps near the (former) Yugoslav border to film three extreme sports enthusiasts being chased down by an avalanche for a commercial. What they don't know, however, is that they're filming near the secret hideout of Slobodan Pavle, a Serbian war criminal. Accidentally catching him on film, they become locked in a life-or-death chase through the mountains that includes skiiing, snowboarding, sky-diving, white water rafting, helicopters, motorcycles, and base jumping. |
