A young boy attempts to reunite an abandoned polar bear cub with its mother in northern Canada.

Midnight Sun is both a family film as well as an action/adventure film, taking place in the ice fields of Northern Canada. When Luke discovers that a young polar bear cub has been separated from his mother, he sets out to find a way to reunite the two. Goran Visnjic joins the cast as Muktuk, a half Inuit and half Canadian, who knows the terrain where the polar bears live and who agrees to help the boy. When a floating iceberg divides the party, it is up to Luke to protect himself and the cub from both the dangers of the wild, and the elements to complete his mission.—JD Gillispie

In Arctic northern Ontario (Canada), animal-loving teen Luke takes home the cub, later named Nanuk, of a polar bear who wandered in town but is tranquilized by the sheriff to be dropped by helicopter in an even more northern reserve. Found out and fearing for the cub's life, he engages to reunite the ursine family on his snow-scooter. He seeks in vain the help of his ever-absent mother's half-Inuit ex Muktuk, who immediately follows to rescue when he finds Luke took off alone and takes charge. They are separated by a shifting ice float, leaving Luke to continue his mission in despair while Muktuk returns to mount a full-scale rescue with airplane.—KGF Vissers
