Synopsis
Rescue adventure, BIG MIRACLE, stars Drew Barrymore, John Krasinski,
Kristen Bell, Dermot Mulroney, Tim Blake Nelson and Ted Danson.
Inspired by a true story, BIG MIRACLE tells the tale of a small town
news reporter (John Krasinski), a Greenpeace volunteer (Drew
Barrymore) and the unlikely coalition of Russian and American
military who unite to rescue a family of gray whales trapped by
rapidly forming ice in the Arctic Circle.
Inspired by the true story that captured the hearts of people across
the world, the rescue adventure Big Miracle tells the amazing tale
of a small town news reporter (John Krasinski) and a Greenpeace
volunteer (Drew Barrymore) who are joined by rival world superpowers
to save a family of majestic gray whales trapped by rapidly forming
ice in the Arctic Circle.
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.
