Alaska is a 1996 American adventure survival film directed by Fraser Clarke Heston and produced by Carol Fuchs and Andy Burg.

The story, written by Burg and Scott Myers, centers on two children who search through the Alaskan wilderness for their lost father.

Meanwhile, a polar bear cub and its mother are shown playing in the snow, not knowing that they are being watched by a pair of poachers named Colin Perry and Mr. Koontz.

Jake is then assigned to make an emergency run at Douglas, but his plane's engines stall, causing him to lose control and crash somewhere close to Devils Thumb.

In the meantime, Charlie found the poachers' camp and reported it to the police before heading back to Devils Thumb, realizing that Perry and Koontz lied to him.

Just as the Barnes family is reunited, Charlie shows up to complete the rescue after Sean fires another flare to alert him of their location.

In the meantime, Perry and Koontz are forced to trek on foot after their helicopter is disabled, upset that they have lost Cubby and that they will possibly be tracked down by the authorities.
