At the top of the world, there is a job like no other. A job to die for…BUCKLE IN FOR AN ADRENALINE-PUMPING RIDE ON ONE OF THE WORLD’S MOST DANGEROUS ROADS!
It’s the most perilous road in the world -- a strip of ice built on permafrost and frozen lakes that connects remote billion-dollar mining outposts in northern Canada with civilization 300 miles away. Open for only two months a year, ten thousand loads, some weighing as much as 22 tons, will travel over this highway in an urgent race to provide critical supplies to the camps before the ice melts. ICE ROAD TRUCKERS, the smash series from The History Channel®, follows the competition and camaraderie of six courageous truckers over a season on the ice road, as they brave white-outs, thin ice, and the deadly cold to perform one of the most dangerous jobs in the world.
Meet Hugh, Rick, Alex, Jay, T.J and Drew – the ice road truckers. A charismatic and rag-tag fraternity, they’re bound to each other by the knowledge that only 28 inches of frozen water, years of experience and quick reflexes separate them from certain doom. Yet, they all know the draw: a year’s worth of salary and bragging rights in just two months. Coined by many as a “dash for cash,”, each trucker tried to rack up as many runs as possible – at $2000 per trip – in the eight short weeks before the road melts away. ICE ROAD TRUCKERS: THE COMPLETE SEASON ONE delivers home audiences to the frozen, white north for an entire perilous ice road season: from the construction of this massive frozen highway to the arrival and preparation of the truck fleet; from the first enthusiastic runs to the risky final days when the highway grows unreliable; from deep-winter breakdowns to isolation and boredom on the road.
Extras: The full pilot episode from the DANGEROUS MISSIONS series, which aired on The History Channel®, and never-before seen footage.
