Movie: “Ice Road Truckers” (2007)
“Ice Road Truckers is a documentary-style reality television series that premiered on The History Channel (now known simply as History) on June 17, 2007.
In 1999, The History Channel aired a 46-minute episode titled “Ice Road Truckers” as part of the Suicide Missions series. Based on the book Denison’s Ice Road by Edith Iglauer, the episode detailed the treacherous job of driving trucks over frozen lakes, also known as ice roads, in Canada’s Northwest Territories. After 2000, reruns of the documentary were aired as an episode of the series Modern Marvels instead. Under this banner, the Ice Road Truckers show garnered very good ratings.
In 2006, The History Channel hired Thom Beers, owner of Original Productions and executive producer of Deadliest Catch, to create a series based on the Ice Road by Beers. Shot in high definition (although the season ended before History HD was launched in the US), the show “charts two months in the lives of six extraordinary men who haul vital supplies to diamond mines and other remote locations over frozen lakes that double as roads”.[1] During the finale of the show’s first season of 10 episodes, The History Channel aired a promo for season 2 which began airing on June 8, 2008.[2] Season 1 of Ice Road Truckers was shown on the British national commercial channel Five in February/March 2008. In Australia it aired on Austar and Foxtel in early 2008 and from June 18 it also began being shown on Network Ten. In autumn 2008 season one aired on RTL 7 in The Netherlands.”

Highway Maggots
With the sun beating down on the ice, the road is melting at an accelerating rate. This means that it’s all hands on deck for the demobilization of the drilling sites at Langley and Mallik, which must be broken down and hauled away before they’re swallowed up by Arctic waters. Northwind owner Kurt Wainman leaves his office behind and jumps into a truck to contribute to the effort. Kurt meets a convoy of “highway maggots” on the way and has nothing but choice words for this group of “scab” drivers from the south. Trucker Jim Gattie volunteers for a dangerous mission; hell haul three sled trailers at once, carrying two diesel tanks and drilling supplies in one mega-load. With the close of the season in sight, Eric and Hugh continue to vie for the title “King of the Ice Road.” Eric holds the lead for the moment, but Hugh is making a final push that might put him out in front.
A Rookie Fumbles
It’s time to dismantle the Mallik Research site and are now racing against time to beat the ice road melt. Hugh is put in charge of training a new trucker, Isaac Lenny, who is scheduled for a driving test in just a few days. And it’s a bad omen when Issac makes a mistake on his first day. A truck in Rick’s convoy has broken down and now the driver must decide whether to risk freezing while walking and abandoning his truck or stay with it. Drew embarks on a box-truck run, which may not be as lucrative but is very important since he will be delivering a corrosion inhibitor to the people of Aklavik, a tiny community on the Mackenzie River.

A Trucker’s Farewell
Alex receives grim news from the doctors at the Yellowknife hospital, which may lead to the end of his trucking season. Rick threatens to quit because of his medical problems since his boss refuses to give him time off to be checked out by a doctor. It’s up to the vets to continue with the final loads of the big rigs now that most of the rookies have left. Bear loads on a P-Tank, a critical part used to measure the amount of waste gas emitted by a drilling rig. Eric sets off on a slow journey to transport a mud pump from Aput to Langley. Weighing in at 100,000 lbs. will mean that the rig can move no faster than 16 mph, or risk damaging the already taxed ice road.

Hundred Ton Haul
Now that the 135-foot derrick has been delivered to the MGM exploration site, and now must transport the 80-ton substructure that will form its base before it can be erected. Weighing 160,000 pounds, the base must be delivered in pieces and will still be the heaviest and most dangerous load of the season. The job is given to veteran trucker Bear Swenson and Arctic Ice Road rookie Alex Debogorski. Compounded by on-going and increasing health problems, the pressure on this trucker is rising fast.

Arctic Whiteout
A storm arises and halts the progress of moving a tall structure for an oil exploration site which must be moved in pieces because of its massive size. Eric is stuck under the power lines because the survival shack he is delivering is too large. Rick is still awaiting the repair of his rig.
OR
Man Down
Bear and Eric are left in charge of carrying a pair of important pieces across the ice highway, a boiler and a flare stack into Langley, an area which has had polar bears spotted in the area. The truckers need to be aware of this danger since arctic polar bears have been known to kill humans. Rick threatens to quit as pressure mounts due to a 5-day-long trip in which he has been scheduled for. Alex is med-evaced to Yellowknife medical facilities as his health worsens, leaving his fate unknown.
Lost on the Ice

The Big Blizzard
The roads are shut down by the first snowstorm of the season, and a trucker is reported stranded on the road. Meanwhile, Rick awaits his truck to be repaired after suffering a second accident in four days, and Drew becomes ill on the first day he is to hit the ice.
Mechanical Mayhem
After just two days in the Arctic, the truckers are already seeing setbacks. A mechanical failure for on trucker has him reviving a truck which has been retired for four years. Meanwhile, a trucker has an eyewitness account of an accident, while another has his own mishap.
