Netflix’s Society of the Snow recounts the harrowing true story of the 1972 plane crash in the Andes that killed 16 people on impact and left 29 passengers struggling to survive in an inhospitable environment. The second one-minute teaser shows the moments before the plane carrying Uruguay’s Old Christians Club rugby team crashed into the mountains.
Director J.A. Bayona (The Impossible, A Monster Calls) co-wrote the screenplay with Bernat Vilaplana, Jaime Marques, and Nicolás Casariego, based on the book by Pablo Vierci. Speaking with Netflix, Bayona described his path to making the film.
“I discovered the book while we were preparing The Impossible, and I immediately thought that I wanted to make it into a film,” said Bayona. “We put the project together over a period of more than 10 years, developing an approach to the story while working closely with Pablo Vierci.”
Society of the Snow is Spain’s Best International Film entry for the 2024 Academy Awards and will open in limited theatrical release in December 2023. The film will begin streaming on Netflix on January 4, 2024.
Netflix released this description of the drama inspired by a true story along with the cast list:
“In 1972, Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571, which had been chartered to fly a rugby team to Chile, crashed in the heart of the Andes. Only 29 of its 45 passengers survived the accident. Trapped in one of the most hostile and inaccessible environments on the planet, they have to resort to extreme measures to stay alive.”
