First dramatic film shot in the IMAX format.
The movie is based on a true story about the first air-mail service in South America to fly across the Andes.
When shown in the 3D theatrical format two separate rolls of film run simultaneously past twin projection lenses at 24 frames per second, and are projected onto a flat screen 106 m2 in size.
The movie was first shown at Sony's new IMAX 3D Theater in New York City on an eight-story high screen.
