    <scene_description>Antarctica . Six million square miles of ice . The coldest place on earth . Forty - six countries have competing claims and maintain outposts .

    <stage_direction>EXT.   ANTARCTICA - DAY</stage_direction>
    <scene_description>Snow - covered hills thrust up out of a barren , white wasteland . No buildings , no animals . nothing . CLOSER : The hills are more defined . Rows of jagged peaks and a crazed pattern of crevasses . A fine ` mist ' of wind - blown snow whips about this jumble of glinting ice . STILL CLOSER : We track down through valleys , skirt crevasses , climb peaks and finally pause on a flat stretch of ice . HOLD on this scene of timeless , savage beauty , then . THUD ! A FACE , hooded and goggled in ECW -LRB- extreme cold weather gear -RRB- drops into frame , smashing down on the icy surface with such brutal impact , the shattered goggle shield pops out - - EYES STARE BLANKLY into camera - locked in death . It 's a man . Camera slowly starts to PULL BACK to see his limbs have snapped at unnatural angles , the head grotesquely twisted - bright red arterial blood seeps from the corpse and spreads out down tiny cracks in the ice until , with startling speed , it turns dark and freezes . We PULL BACK further and look down on the body , a bizarre shape in a spider 's web of frozen blood . And SLOWLY WE PULL BACK . further and further . until all is dazzling white . TITLE : WHITEOUT The sounds of lapping surf and distant seagulls serenades us like a rhythmic lullaby . - CU on WOMAN 'S TOES digging up soft , white sand . The shadow of a palm tree cascading over top . Widen slightly - a pair of feminine hands , donning an ANTIQUE SILVER ring on the left middle finger , are slowly applying coconut tanning lotion onto firm , athletic calves . Deep . Soothing . Then - O.C. KNOCK KNOCK on a door . The hands stop . Another KNOCK KNOCK . The lapping surf and seagull sounds come to an abrupt halt .</scene_description>

    <scene_description>Widen to meet CARRIE STETKO , late 20 's . Cargo pants - rolled up , and an exercise top . She 's kicking back , but she 's not at the beach . In fact , she 's in an office , sitting on a chair . A NEWLY OPEN BAG OF KITTY LITTER sits next to a plastic tub she 's got her feet in . Two FLOOR LAMPS stand like sentinels above her , blasting her with warm wattage . A fake palm tree casts the shadow across her body . She 's pulled the earplugs out of her iPod - back to the real world . The door opens . Leaning into the room is JAMIE CLARK -LRB- 20 's -RRB- , African - American . She 's dressed in a flannel shirt , jeans . Carrie does n't look entirely happy at the intrusion .</scene_description>

    <scene_description>Jamie leaves . As Carrie gets to her feet , camera moves away from her , panning around the small office . Half - packed up boxes lay strewn about the floor . A CALENDER hangs crookedly before a desk . Each day has been marked off with a large X. THREE DAYS REMAIN unmarked . Last space reads : WINTER - OVER , and in the space next to it , there 's a cut out picture of a tropical beach . A dart board is next to it with A PHOTOGRAPH pulverized with dart holes over the Bullseye . It 's of a candy - striped pole topped with a silver ball , surrounded by international flags - the South Pole . Carrie is standing next to the pole , smiling at the camera , arm - in - arm with SAM MURPHY -LRB- 30 's -RRB- . Looks like he 's handsome , but his face is a little more obliterated than the rest of him .</scene_description>

She slowly opens it - Now she can hear HEAVY , LABORED BREATHING - - Sweeps the inside with her light . It 's a large lounge type room : scattered chairs , tables , and an overturned sofa on the other side - where the heavy breathing 's coming from . Another cough . She enters the room .

Realizes a large area has been blanketed with shaved pieces of ice a few inches thick -</scene_description>

    <dialogue>They were digging, Pryce. And they tries to spread the ice to hide it.</dialogue>
    <scene_description>She heads back across the area . Scans the horizon . Takes another step forward . WHOOSH ! In an instant , Carrie 's gone ! DISAPPEARS below the ice . Only a four foot wide hole remains , that was covered up with a white , iced - over tarp . Pryce and Delfy move toward her - each hesitating slightly , unsure of their own footing . Pryce gets to the hole . Looks down . Carrie is precariously dangling in an ICE SHAFT that slopes at a slight angle . She 's managed to grasp a protruding piece of ice , but she 's fighting the pain in her left hand to hold on . It slips off . Below her - nothing but darkness .</scene_description>

    <scene_description>Darkness . A flashlight clicks on . Reflects off a wall of ice with a frozen blood trail leading up . Carrie gets to her feet . Sees that she 's in a small dug out area . As she slowly turns to get her bearings , her light falls on an ESCAPE HATCH of some kind , maybe three feet high . Carrie shines the light to her feet . The ground beneath her is metal .</scene_description>

  <scene>
    <stage_direction>INT. CARGO BAY - CONTINUOUS</stage_direction>
    <scene_description>Off their lights - every surface scintillates with ice crystals from the frozen atmosphere , undisturbed except for recent tracks of footprints filing in and out - they go forward and aft , disappearing into darkness . Place is tomb silent . Twisted , and strewn with large containers scattered at odd angles - victims of an intense IMPACT . The plane is pitched up at the nose , making their footing precarious .</scene_description>
    <character>CARRIE</character>
    <dialogue>Cargo plane, but I do n't recognize it.</dialogue>
    <character>DELFY</character>
    <dialogue>It's an Antanov - 74. Russian made - late fifties. No one's put these in the air for forty years.</dialogue>
    <scene_description>Carrie shuffles her way forward into the darkness , heading for the cockpit . Something BRUSHES her leg . She spins . Shines her light - which illuminates a HAND , fingers in a clawed position - as if in excruciating pain . She whips her light past the hand , up the arm - captures the FACE of a man staring at her ! It takes a moment to realize - he 's dead , pinned between two large metal crates . Delfy stands still . Staring . Carrie throws a look back over her shoulder -</scene_description>
    <character>CARRIE</character>
    <dialogue>Guess that makes three.</dialogue>
    <scene_description>She continues on with Delfy staying close . Her light targets the cockpit door . It 's closed .</scene_description>
  </scene>
  <scene>
    <stage_direction>INT. COCKPIT - RIGHT AFTER</stage_direction>
    <scene_description>Carrie pushes the door open . The beam of her light reveals frozen blood SPLATTERED across a SHATTERED WINDSHIELD - chunks of ice protruding through it . Continues over three dead men in flight suits still strapped into seats , their broken bodies and ghastly expressions perfectly preserved . Each have a sidearm holstered around their waist .</scene_description>
    <character>DELFY</character>
    <dialogue>This is n't funny -</dialogue>
    <scene_description>She looks back to Delfy - gets confused .</scene_description>

    <dialogue>Where's Pryce?</dialogue>
  </scene>
  <scene>
    <stage_direction>INT. CARGO BAY - RIGHT AFTER</stage_direction>
    <scene_description>Trailing her beam of light , Carrie and Delfy climb through a thick wall of nylon webbing . Enter a cluttered cargo area . Ransacked Antarctic gear is strewn everywhere in a tangle of ropes and crampons , old ECW gear , and boxes of supplies . Dipping into a case of bottles , Delfy pulls one free , sniffs , and drinks .</scene_description>
    <character>CARRIE</character>
    <dialogue>What is that?</dialogue>
    <scene_description>Delfy grins .</scene_description>
    <character>DELFY</character>
    <dialogue>Vodka.</dialogue>
    <scene_description>Carrie continues through the hold . Her FLASHLIGHT BEAM flickers over more chaos of the crash . HUGE STEEL TANKS TAKE UP MOST OF THE MID - SECTION . Spots Pryce 's flashlight holding on something just ahead . Moves to it .</scene_description>
    <character>CARRIE</character>
    <parenthetical>( SUSPICIOUS . )</parenthetical>
    <dialogue>Find what you're looking for?</dialogue>
    <scene_description>Her light hits Pryce , who is focused on a HEAVY STEEL CAGE WELDED INTO THE AIRFRAME . Incredibly strong . And inside it is a STEEL SAFE . Door is open . Pryce takes a beat - turns to she and Delfy .</scene_description>
    <character>PRYCE</character>
    <dialogue>Just answers.</dialogue>
    <parenthetical>( BEAT . )</parenthetical>
    <dialogue>Those are fuel tanks behind you. This plane was outfitted for long range capabilities.</dialogue>
    <character>CARRIE</character>
    <dialogue>And by the looks of that safe, must've been transporting something pretty important.</dialogue>
    <scene_description>Carrie moves in closer . Sees that the cage has been breached . Part of it has been damaged by the crash and this weakness has been ruthlessly attacked by the previous intruders until they forced an opening . Discarded tools litter the floor .</scene_description>
    <character>PRYCE</character>
    <dialogue>They put some serious work into this.</dialogue>
    <scene_description>There 's a pool of frozen blood near the opening - where one of the torn , jagged bars of the steel cage is covered in blood -</scene_description>
    <character>CARRIE</character>
    <dialogue>Whoever got hurt, they dragged him out of here. There's blood all over the tunnel.</dialogue>
    <scene_description>She uses her light to examine the interior of the safe more closely - the frost on the shelves exposes SIX ROUND RUST RINGS where containers have been removed . Each one roughly measuring a foot tall , four inches wide . The PLANE SUDDENLY TREMBLES .</scene_description>
    <character>CARRIE</character>

    <dialogue>Go!</dialogue>
    <scene_description>CRASHCRASHCRASH ! More ICE . They scramble back through the darkness , the flashlight beams swinging wildly about the hold . MORE ICE FALLS . It 's getting louder as they 're getting closer to the source . Carrie targets ahead with her light - illuminates the hatch as A LOAD OF ICE DROPS IN covering it completely . Light fades .</scene_description>
    <character>DELFY</character>
    <dialogue>Sonofabitch!</dialogue>
    <scene_description>The continual sound of falling ice grows MUFFLED and DISTANT . Carrie and Pryce both pull out their phones .</scene_description>

    <scene_description>CHIPCHIPCHIP ! Ice is flying . Things are desperate as a single flashlight beam propped up on a crate , illuminates Carrie , Delfy and Pryce hard at it - frantically chopping away at the ice filled hatch with pieces of scrap metal from the plane . Efforts are big - but the progress minimal .</scene_description>

    <character>DELFY</character>
    <dialogue>No way. I'm not going out like this. No way.</dialogue>
    <scene_description>The light from the flashlight slowly begins to fade . Carrie goes over to the crate , slaps it against her leg , trying to get more juice going . Still fading . Light goes out - - Screen goes black . Ca n't see a thing . A second later , ANOTHER LIGHT KICKS ON - Pryce is holding it . Hands it over to Carrie -</scene_description>

    <scene_description>Pryce heads to the back , his body becoming barely visible in the dissipating range of light . Carrie takes a six - inch , pearl handled Buck knife from a pocket , unfolds it - starts cutting the liner of her coat . Delfy moves to a nearby wooden crate . Goes to lift it , but it 's frozen to the floor . Stomps on it . It breaks . Pulls pieces from the siding for torch sticks . Pryce comes back with a couple bottles . Stops dead in his tracks . Carrie looks over to see him staring at two LIFE JACKETS attached to the wall near the hatch . He 's thinking . He moves to Carrie -</scene_description>
    <character>PRYCE</character>
    <dialogue>Hold these.</dialogue>
    <scene_description>He exchanges the bottles for her flashlight . He shines the light to the ceiling as he heads toward the back , leaving Carrie and Delfy getting swallowed in the dark .</scene_description>

    <dialogue>With the angle of the plane, I do n't think we're that far from the surface. Give me a hand.</dialogue>
    <scene_description>Pryce moves to a large crate - starts to push it over . They join , sliding it over below the hatch . He jumps up onto it - examines the hatch area .</scene_description>
    <character>PRYCE</character>

    <dialogue>These are explosive bolts. If we blow the hatch, maybe it'll smash a hole up through the ice.</dialogue>

    <character>PRYCE</character>

    <scene_description>Pryce hands Carrie the flashlight . She targets the hatch area as he opens an electrical panel beside it ; a crisscrossing maze of wires . As he reaches up to examine the wiring , Carrie catches a GLIMPSE of a SHOULDER HARNESS under his liner .</scene_description>

    <scene_description>Delfy nods . Carrie is still running that shoulder holster through her head . Pryce touches the last wire to the battery . Nothing happens . Hope freezes . Pryce tries again - - KA - BOOM ! The hatch EXPLODES INWARD , ricocheting around the inside of the cargo hold like a giant bullet coming in and out of their light . SLAM , SLAM , SLAM , until . WHAM , it buries itself edge - on , halfway into the fuselage , missing Carrie by a hair 's width . They stand there , deafened and stunned , then a shower of ice rains into the plane where the hatch used to be and a THIN SHAFT OF LIGHT DROPS into the cargo bay like a gift from God .</scene_description>

    <dialogue>Listen to me - Forty eight hours ago, we picked up chatter between someone down here and Tahir Soufian, a black market trader in New York. It was all about setting up a buy for cannisters found in an old Russian transport buried in the ice.</dialogue>
    <character>DELFY</character>
    <dialogue>Damn, I knew that government eavesdropping was true.</dialogue>
    <character>PRYCE</character>
    <dialogue>There's been rumors for years that the Russians had a second base - a secret weapons research facility under the ice that supposedly blew up in the late sixties - nothing was ever confirmed. The fact is, before the treaty in ` 72 they were strip mining all over the place down here - we believe for uranium and other specialized minerals for weapon's use. It was the Cold War. No one knows half the things the Russian's were up to. This plane could be the link between rumor and truth. And if it is true, what's in those cannisters could be a prelude to another terrorist attack.</dialogue>

Summary: In 1957 a Russian cargo plane is flying above Antarctica. In the cargo hold, three Russians sit with a padlocked box. The co-pilot leaves his seat and goes into the cargo hold, then begins to shoot the other men, who return fire. The chaos caused by the gunfight leads to a crash which kills all aboard. In modern times, newcomers arrive at the United States' Amundsen–Scott South Pole Station in Antarctica, while  others who are scheduled to leave are preparing to do so early because of a storm. They must depart before the onset of winter or remain for six months. Special Deputy U.S. Marshal Carrie Stetko (Kate Beckinsale) has been working in Antarctica for two years, since a betrayal by her partner in Miami that killed him and nearly killed her. She plans to resign after returning to the United States in two days. Stetko, her friend Doc (Tom Skerritt), and pilot Delfy (Columbus Short) fly to the remote Haworth Mesa to retrieve a discovered body. The dead man is Anton Weiss (Marc James Beauchamp), one of a group of three scientists looking for meteorites. An autopsy finds evidence of murder by ax. A murder requires a federal investigation; Stetko considers sending the body to McMurdo Station to avoid spending another winter in Antarctica, but decides to continue the investigation. When Stetko goes to speak to one of the others at Vostok Station, she finds him dying from a neck wound and is herself attacked by a black-clad man with an ax. Stetko injures her hands in escaping, losing the wet skin of her fingers on the metal handle of a door. Later, she finds Robert Pryce (Gabriel Macht), a United Nations security agent, examining the body of the second scientist. They conclude that the third, who is missing, must be the killer and set out to explore the group's most recent search site. There, Stetko falls through the ice to find the old Russian cargo plane. Pryce and Delfy join her to investigate, and they realize that the locked box had been opened and six cylinders removed. Pryce reveals that it is possible that nuclear fuel of interest to arms traffickers may be in the cylinders. After nearly being trapped by a cave-in at the plane, Stetko must have her badly frostbitten fingers amputated by Doc. She then finds the missing scientist hiding in her office. He tells her that he and his two companions found the plane and took the canisters, but the killer has them now. Before Stetko can protect him he is killed, but Stetko captures his killer, who is revealed to be Australian biologist Russell Haden (Alex O'Loughlin). The base commander orders everyone to evacuate because of the murders. With Haden locked in the brig and the winter storm near, Stetko and Pryce search for the canisters. However, Haden manages to escape and starts pursuing Stetko and Pryce. The three end up outside the base while the winter storm happens, and just when Haden corners, and is about to kill, Stetko, Pryce arrives and cuts Haden's safety rope and he is dragged onto the base's wall as a result of the storm's heavy winds, fatally smashing his head in the process. Stetko checks the last departing plane's cargo manifest and learns that the bodies of the dead scientists were not aboard. She searches their body bags and notices that the stitching on Weiss's old wound matches the distinctive pattern on her amputated fingers. Stetko explores the body and finds several bags of large, uncut diamonds. Doc confesses that he was part of a diamond smuggling ring with the others before Haden killed the rest. He had hoped that the diamonds would make him wealthy outside Antarctica. When Doc tells Stetko he wants to see the aurora australis one last time, she allows him to walk outside to his death. Six months later, Stetko, Pryce, and Delfy have wintered at the facility. She transmits an email to her superior, rescinding her previous resignation and asking for a warmer location for her assignment.
