Amblin entertainment presents a dazzling, animated adventure bout one of the most courageous canines of all time!

One day, a serious diptheria epidemic spreads fast among the children of Nome. When a fierce blizzard closes off all routes of transport, there's no way of obtaining life-saving medicine.. unless a team of sled dogs can race six-hundred miles through the blinding Artic storm and bring back antitoxin. But the dogs are lost in the frozen wilderness. Now only Balto can rescue the dogs in the frozen wilderness. Now, only Balto can rescue the team and save the children. Balto is based on the remarkable true story of a hero who inspired a nation and became a legend.
