Netflix has a slew of intriguing titles getting their world premiere at the Venice Film Festival soon, including David Fincher‘s “The Killer,” Bradley Cooper‘s “Maestro,” and Pablo Larráin‘s “El Conde.” But don’t sleep on J.A. Bayona‘s “Society Of The Snow,” tapped as the festival’s closing night film. And Bayona’s film will likely leave viewers breathless, as it recounts one of the most infamous plane crashes of all time.

Based on Pablo Vierci‘s book of the same name, “Society Of The Snow” follows the events around the crash of Urugayan Air Force Flight 571, which crashed in the Andes in 1972. Here’s an official synopsis for the movie, courtesy of Netflix:
In 1972, Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571, which had been chartered to fly a rugby team to Chile, crashed in the heart of the Andes. Only 29 of its 45 passengers survived the accident. Trapped in one of the most hostile and inaccessible environments on the planet, they have to resort to extreme measures to stay alive.
“Society Of The Snow” stars Enzo Vogrincic, Agustín Pardella, Matías Recalt, Esteban Bigliardi, Diego Vegezzi, Fernando Contigiani García, and Esteban Kukuriczka. The film also stars Rafael Federman, Francisco Romero, Valentino Alonso, Tomás Wolf, Agustín Della Corte, Felipe Otaño, Andy Pruss, Blas Polidori, Felipe Ramusio, and Simón Hempe.
Along with directing, Bayona adapts Vierci’s novel with Bernat Vilaplana, Jaime Marques, and Nicolás Casariego. Bayona and Vierca also produce the film with Belén Atienza and Sandra Hermida.  Michael Giacchino provides the movie’s score.
No word yet on when “Society Of The Snow” premieres on Netflix, but expect news on that after the Venice Film Festival wraps. Watch a teaser for J.A. Bayona’s new film below.
