What happened to 12-year-old Donn Fendler in the summer of 1939 on an innocent hiking trip on Katahdin is unimaginable. Now, his story of survival is retold on screen in Lost on a Mountain in Maine, with Luke David Blumm as Fendler.
Produced by Sylvester Stallone, the film also stars Paul Sparks (House of Cards), Caitlin FitzGerald (The Trial of the Chicago 7, Succession), Griffin Wallace Henkel (Armageddon Time), and Ethan Slater (Wicked). Andrew Boodhoo Kightlinger directed the film from the screenplay written by Luke Paradise.
Here is the official synopsis:
Based on the book by the same name, the film tells the inspiring story of a 12-year-old boy, who, separated from his family by a fast moving storm, must fight to stay alive during his nine-day adventure lost in the backwoods of Maine.
