Comment/Synopsis
When their friend goes missing in the wilds of British Columbia a man (Nick Mancuso) and a woman (Kim Basinger) go looking for him, but when their plane crashes they come across a an old miner (Charlton Heston) who is not as friendly as he first seems. This was directed by Charlton Heston, written by his son and features an early film role for Kim Basinger. It is not really clear what type of film this is and so the plot gets a bit lost. The underground scenes that should have tension and some claustrophobia are spoiled by the continuous inappropriate music.
