The 22+ Best Survival Movies Ranked (Slashfilm)

"Staying alive is the primordial prime directive for life. This deep need to survive pushes humans into incredibly dramatic battles with reality. That's why so many of the stories below are true. Near-death narratives strip away the trappings of society and place their heroes into a state of nature. These protagonists are stranded, starving, mauled, and even disfigured. And yet, they take what's left and fight to keep breathing. The earliest known human stories have survival elements, of course. Survival movie heroes don't usually choose their adventures. The universe plucks them from ordinary lives and throws them into extraordinary, yet elementary, battles with mortality. First, they have to find the fortitude to overcome this sheer bad luck, and then, the determination to take what's left and keep living. These are the 22 best survival movies, ranked." - slashfilm.com
