Against the Wild is a 2013 Canadian direct-to-video children's film directed by Richard Boddington and starring CJ Adams, Erin Pitt, Natasha Henstridge and Ted Whittall.

13-year-old Zach Wade and 12-year-old Hannah are brother and sister, whose parents have separated and are planning a divorce.

Life is made a little easier for Zach and Hannah though because they have their trusty dog, Chinook (an Alaskan Malamute), the three make a great team and they have a lot of fun together.

Zach, Hannah, and Chinook, will be flying deep into the wilderness to meet up with their father (Robert) who is the vice president of a mining operation.

The plane heads North deep into the expanse of the wilderness, below them Zach and Hannah see nothing but lakes, rivers, and trees.

Black smoke pours out of the engine, Charlie struggles to keep the plane in the air as his instruments give him nothing but bad news.

Zach and Hannah trek through the woods, they begin to realize that they are in more trouble than they thought.

Meanwhile, Robert has taken to the skies in the company helicopter and is conducting a detailed search of the area they believe the plane went down.

The fire slowly dies as Zach and Hannah talk, Chinook is alerted by a strange noise, something is watching the children from inside the cave.

In the morning the children notice a plateau far off in the distance and make it their goal to reach this high spot where they are sure they will be seen.

The children find an old log that has fallen across the river and decide to use it to cross the water.

Chinook charges in and confronts a wolf, Zach throws his baseball at the other, and the wolves are driven off.

Zach builds a travois (sled made from sticks) so that the powerful Chinook can pull her through the woods.

As the search for the children has progressed, Robert and Susan have grown closer as the ordeal has drawn them together.

Zach and Hannah continue to make their way through the woods and come across a nice rest spot where they stop.

The children enter a clearing, Chinook stops, raises his ears, and begins to growl.

As Hannah and Chinook dance around in joy Zach does not realize how close to the edge he has come and falls over the side.

Robert and Susan drive their ATV fast through the woods when Chinook suddenly bursts from the forest in front of them.

After a brief reunion Robert engineers the rescue of Zach by using a rope and harness tied to the ATV.

Once safely inside the ATV, Robert and Susan inform Zach and Hannah that the divorce has been called off and that they will all live together as a family once again.
