To this day, no one but Packer knows what really happened on that fateful expedition. Lone Survivor brilliantly recreates -- from Packer's unique point of view -- a tale of unforgiving terrain, of savage winter storms and dwindling food supplies, and of a desperate journey into the wilderness, where brave men died.
