Local newsman Adam Carlson (Krasinski) can't wait to escape the northern tip of Alaska for a bigger market. But just when the story of his career breaks, the world comes chasing it, too. With an oil tycoon, heads of state and hungry journalists descending upon the frigid outpost, the one who worries Adam the most is Rachel Kramer (Barrymore). Not only is she an outspoken environmentalist, she's also his ex-girlfriend.

With time running out, Rachel and Adam must rally an unlikely coalition of Inuit natives, oil companies and Russian and American military to set aside their differences and free the whales. As the world's attention turns to the top of the globe, saving these endangered animals becomes a shared cause for nations entrenched against one another and leads to a momentary thaw in the Cold War.

My daughter really wanted to see this so I rented it for her the other day. Decent movie. If you like movies like "Dolphin Tale" you will probably like this one.

It's based off a true story. Funny thing is I don't remember ever seeing this on the news when I was growing up. The movie makes it sound like it was a huge deal and all over the news.

My favorite part was at the end where they show the video of the actual people involved compared to the actors who protrayed them.
