After becoming snowbound in the Sierra Nevada during the winter of 1846-1847, a number of the trapped settlers joined together in a final effort to reach California and organize a rescue party.
"This historical incident is a fascinating portion of American history and rich material for an actor to sink one's teeth into. The pun is intended," says Glover.
