action
The underage siblings Sam and Bonnie often compete with each other. When a flight is about to take her to her parents' home, who are attending an environmental conference, the plane crashes somewhere in the deserted Canadian wilderness. The 14-year-old twins survive the accident, while their companion and all other occupants of the machine are killed.
The Indian Khonanestra, whose loyal companion is the Kodiak bear "Grandfather", finds the siblings and saves them both from certain death. It is then he who primarily takes care of Sam and Bonnie and helps them to adjust to the strange surroundings and the sometimes dangerous situations. The siblings quickly learn that you have to be more afraid of the unscrupulous poachers active in the area than of the mighty bears that make their home there. Again and again the three find themselves on the run because the poachers fear that anyone who knows about their dirty business could get them into trouble, and they want to prevent this at all costs.
Meanwhile, Sam and Bonnie's parents organize a frantic search for their children. Misinformation leads them to suspect Khonanestra of poaching and to believe that their children are in great danger with him. However, the siblings can clear up the situation before the poachers get hold of them and clarify who is evil here.

Reviews
Dan Jardine wrote in the Apollo Movie Guide that the tension was "minimal" and that the images looked too much like postcards. Of the two main characters, only the one embodied by Dunst was convincing at the beginning, but would soon be reduced to screaming and running through the woods - as with the rest of the cast. The film is not poor, but just made listless.
The lexicon of international films wrote that the film was “a varied adventure film for older children and young people, which enhances its story with an ecological coating”.
The film magazine Cinema drew the conclusion: "Mediocre tutoring in eco-education."
