Balto

A half-wolf, half-husky named Balto gets a chance to become a hero when an outbreak of diphtheria threatens the children of Nome, Alaska in the winter of 1925. He leads a dog team on a 600-mile trip across the Alaskan wilderness to get medical supplies. The film is based on a true story which inspired the Iditarod dog sled race. ??Alan KatzAwards: 5 nominationsWorldwide Gross: $11,349,090Soundtrack: Reach for the Light (Music by Barry Mann and James Horner)Simon WellsKevin Bacon, Bob Hoskins, Bridget Fonda1995-12-22 (United States, United Kingdom)tt0112453
