The unbelievable true story of a 12-year-old boy who survived 8 days in the wild is coming to the big screen. And even though it happened on a mountain in Maine, the film that was produced by Sylvester Stallone was actually shot in Upstate New York.

Lost On a Mountain in Maine is based on a book that tells the story of a kid who gets separated from his family while hiking Mount Katahdin in 1939.

Lost in the wilderness, he crosses nearly 100 miles over 8 days while his family desperately mounts an effort to find him.
