Amazon.com: A complete lack of imagination is what qualifies this as a B movie. Thankfully, this snowy adventure about a boy and his dogs is charming enough to entice the kiddies. Charismatic MacKenzie Astin plays a teenager trying to save the family farm by entering a 522-mile sled-dog marathon. Except for Astin, the lusciously scenic background has more depth than most of the characters. This is so predictable you could take a nap and miss nothing except a few rousing scenes in the 1917 Winnipeg-to-St.-Paul sled race. Although this is visually more appealing than most family fare, one wishes more attention had been paid to the script. --Rochelle O'Gorman

Rating: - Who was Will Stoneman?
The question in my mind is was there ever a Will Stoneman. Google comes up with nothing. I did find something that said Albert Campbell claimed to be Iron Will. He said the story was based on the fact that his father died and in just two weeks he fulfilled his dying fathers wish and won the race.
I have always associated Will Stoneman with an old man I once saw on TV. He talked about winning a dog sled race and later going to the (North/South Pole?) on an expedition back in those days. He was hired because he was an expert with dog teams. Albert Campbell says he won the race in 1917. ... Read More

Rating: - Great Family Day film
This is not your average Disney film, except that the quality is top-rate, the acting is top rate, and the story line is decent. But it is not a Mikey Mouse Club tpye story.
It is based on a true life story. Mackenzie Austin is a great actor in this. Not sure why he never did anything this good again.
Ok, the story can be sappy, and it has been done before (and since). But for all the sled-dog type movies this is the best (even recent ones).
As for a dog movie, this is ok, there are some better dog movies, but this ranks up there with Benji.
