Avalanche 1999 PG-13, 105 min. Genre: Drama / Action / Thriller aka: Escape from Alaska
Director: Steve Kroschel Cast: Thomas Ian Griffith, Caroleen Feeney, R. Lee Ermey, C. Thomas Howell, Geoffrey Lower, John Ashton, Hilary Shepard, Brett Baker, Gary Kasper, Bill Bacon, John Jabaley, Jerry Harper, Paul Schweigert, Richard Reichman, Thomas Jacobs
Poor stuff here as an environmental activist protests a proposed Alaska pipeline which, she contends, will cause increases in the number of avalanches. An avalanche had killed Lia's (Caroleen Feeney) husband several years earlier, which provides the impetus for her protest. Perhaps her return to Juneau would also increase the frequency of avalanches. One good thing about this picture: the footage of Alaska's natural beauty.
