Iron Will - 1994 - 6/10

Think of this as the early version of the Iditarod Trail. Only with real snow.
1917, teenage Will enters the 500 miles dogsled race from Winnipeg to Minnesota.
The competition is an advertising stunt, yet the Great War dominates the press.
Will lacks experience, nor is he physically prepared, but he is plucky.
Plus, he has a great lead dog.
Old-fashioned adventure film from Disney is feel-good all the way.
Excellent family film, and based on a true individual.
