Kenneth Branagh stars as the legendary polar explorer in this extraordinary true story of survival that sparkles on DVD. SHACKLETON will "...leave you chilled, shaken and stirred." (People Magazine)

"Men wanted for hazardous journey. Small wages. Bitter cold. Long months of complete darkness. Constant danger. Safe return doubtful. Honour and recognition in case of success."
-Ernest Shackleton
The 27 men who joined his 1914 expedition to cross Antarctica found that Ernest Shackleton was true to his word. But what they endured was worse than anyone could have imagined. And their survival transformed the mission's initial failure into the greatest triumph from the age of polar exploration.
Based on the detailed diaries and first-person accounts of expedition members, SHACKLETON brings their harrowing ordeal to life, from the frustration as ice closed around their ship to the death-defying, 800-mile journey in an open boat across the world's worst seas that made their rescue possible.
Written and directed by Charles Sturridge (Longitude, Brideshead Revisited), SHACKLETON stars Kenneth Branagh (Henry V, Hamlet) as the legendary explorer.
