What Do You Remember From "Alive"? Quiz

Answer: Bring him tea

When the steward goes on his errand, he walks past passengers, so that the viewer gets a chance to get a feel for who is aboard and what they are like. Michael Sicoly plays the pilot. Frank Pellegrino plays the steward.

Answer: Susana and Eugenia

Susana admires the mountains and points them out to her mother. Eugenia doesn't want to look at them because they look "like big teeth". She gets out a box of chocolates instead. This shows us where some of the food comes from. Later, Eugenia looks to Nando for reassurance about the turbulence.

This establishes who Nando is. Ethan Hawke plays Nando, Ele Keats plays Susana, and Jan D'Arcy plays Eugenia.

Answer: In the close-up, Liliana reaches across with her left hand to grasp Javier's left hand.

This strange reach allows us to see their wedding rings, establishing that they are married. Sam Behrens plays Javier, and Illeana Douglas plays Liliana.

Answer: A rugby ball

This gives us another visual reference to their bond as rugby players. The lightheartedness of this moment contrasts with the grim aftermath of the crash.

Answer: The tail and the right wing

Several passengers and the steward are lost out the back of the cabin before the plane hits the ground. Later in the film some of the survivors go on expeditions to find missing pieces of the airplane.

Answer: Nando Parrado

Alex, played by Silvio Pollio, is killed in the crash. Roberto (Josh Hamilton) and Roy (Kevin Breznahan) survive uninjured and struggle to care for the others. Nando (Ethan Hawke) is knocked unconscious. Several other survivors tend carefully to Nando, thus saving his life. Nando later repays the favor by being the one who hikes out of the mountains to summon rescuers.

Answer: Roberto Canessa and Gustavo Zerbino

We find out that Zerbino (David Kriegel) is a medical student immediately after the crash, when he exclaims that he'd only been in medical school for six months. Canessa (Josh Hamilton) identifies himself as a medical student when he confronts the mechanic who stole Susana Parrado's coat.

Answer: Flight of the Bumblebee

Coche is played by Gordon Currie. His response can't be repeated on a family-oriented site! This moment serves to show that the survivors manage to keep a sense of humor even in their terrible situation.

Answer: Water

Canessa (Josh Hamilton) fills a handkerchief with snow and gives it to the pilot (Michael Sicoly) to suck on. After moistening his mouth, the pilot asks for his bag because he wants his gun. Canessa refuses, because as a Catholic he can't take part in a mercy killing.

The fact that the pilot survives is important, because he also tells the survivors what he thinks their location is. He is wrong, which is why the plane crashed, and why it is so much further to Chile than the survivors anticipate.

Answer: The mechanic

The mechanic (José Zúñiga), survives until the avalanche, but clearly his mind has come unhinged. The mechanic tells the other survivors that the batteries, that they think they can use to operate the radio, are in the tail. This leads to the expeditions to the tail, and to Nando's decision to make a sleeping bag with insulation from the tail.

Answer: Plenty of cigarettes

They find an entire suitcase full of cigarettes. The survivors later use cigarettes as candles in snowball "birthday cakes" to observe their birthdays during the ordeal.

Answer: Nando Parrado

Nando (Ethan Hawke) actually broaches the topic twice. The first time is just before his sister, Susana, dies, when he tells another survivor he'll cut some meat from the pilot to get the strength to walk out of the mountains. The second time he broaches it in a meeting with the entire group, after they learn that the rescue had been called off.

Answer: For the sleeping bag to be finished

Nando (Ethan Hawke) gets the idea to make a sleeping bag out of insulation they found in the tail. Canessa (Josh Hamilton) keeps insisting that the sleeping bag isn't finished even when Nando tells him that it is. When Rafael (Michael DeLorenzo) dies, the stalling is over.

Answer: 5

The first one is exploratory and Fito is saved from falling. The next one finds other dead passengers. It also establishes that without eating the dead, the survivors will be far too weak to hike out of the mountains. The third expedition locates the tail and the battery, but the boys are unable to bring the battery back to the wreckage because it is too heavy.

The fourth is the futile attempt to make the radio work -- but on this expedition Nando finds the insulation that enables them to make the sleeping bag they need for the final expedition.

The fifth and final one brings rescue.

Answer: "Maybe. But if we do we're gonna die walking."

Nando (Ethan Hawke) spots two mountains with no snow on them, and sets them as their target. Without Nando's refusal to quit, even when things looked hopeless, the expedition would have failed.
