The film is an adaptation of Robert Mason Lee's non-fiction book Death and Deliverance which is based on the 1991 plane crash of a Canadian Forces CC-130 Hercules (a part of Operation Boxtop 22) en route to CFS Alert on Ellesmere Island with 18 crew and passengers on board.
He is also the author of two books: Breach of Faith: Hurricane Katrina and the Near Death of an American City, which chronicles the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina and the slow Federal response to the disaster, and Desire Street: A True Story of Death and Deliverance in New Orleans, which was nominated for the 2006 Edgar Award for non-fiction crime writing.
