Is Society of the Snow based on a true story?
The movie is based on the true story of the crash of Flight 571. It provides a realistic account of the experience of the survivors who spent harrowing days in the Andes Mountains, trapped in the snow and without any communication.
The incident occurred on October 13, 1972, when a rugby team from Montevideo, Uruguay, boarded Flight 571 to Santiago, Chile, for a match. The plane was just a little short of its destination when it crashed deep into the snowy Andes, where temperatures can reach up to minus 40 degrees.
A crash resulted in the immediate death of twelve people, leaving several others severely injured. Only 29 passengers survived to see the second day in the Andes. Extensive search-and-rescue operations were conducted but were eventually called off, presuming the passengers were dead. Nearly two and a half months later, 16 survivors were rescued. The Netflix movie chronicles the harrowing 72 days the survivors spent amid the snowy Andes.
