U.S. Marshal Carrie Stetko is three days from the end of her tour at an international research station in Antarctica after which she'll resign. An incident from her past haunts her. The continent's first winter storm is coming when a body, wearing no gear, is discovered in the tundra. She investigates, soon finds more bodies, and must find a motive and a murderer before the storm and her departure. A U.N. agent, Robert Pryce, appears, seemingly out of nowhere, to help. An aging physician about to retire, a nervous mission chief, a downed Soviet plane, and the weather's deadly elements add to the story. Can Carrie trust Pryce and does she still have what it takes?
U.S. Marshal Carrie Stetko tracks a killer in Antarctica, as the sun is about to set for six months.
Whiteout is a perfectly adequate diversion for a couple of hours. The terrain is magnificent and the setting of the base convincing and atmospheric. There are some decent performances, but the characters are somewhat off-the-shelf and, ultimately, the film is let down by its story, which is underwhelming, the motivations of those involved seeming unimportant to the point that you might wonder why they bothered. Kate Beckinsale is as watchable as ever, and there is a genuinely moving scene between her and the underrated Tom Skerrit in which it is easy to become emotionally involved. Beckinsale's back-story is also a convincing attempt to explain why someone might take a long posting in the Antarctic. If you want snowbound action with real scares however you are better with John Carpenter's 'The Thing' - or if it's intrigue in a winter landscape that draws you, the excellent 'Bear Island' from a novel by Alistair MacLean is well worth seeking out.
As the film opens we see a cargo plane full of Russians. But it is 1957. They start to celebrate something, we are not sure what, when one of them carelessly spills the Vodka. As we all know now, spilling Vokda in a plane flying over Antarctica is grounds for pulling weapons and opening fire. Firing without regard for who is being hit and all those unplanned holes in the fuselage. Of course the plane crashes and everyone is killed.<br/><br/>So, what is going on here? This is a 2009 movie. What is up with this focus on the 1957 plane crash? We rightly figure out that somehow it will be woven into the story line to follow.<br/><br/>Kate Beckinsale is US Marshall Carrie Stetko. She had a pretty traumatic experience recently, she had to shoot and kill someone who betrayed her then pulled a gun on her. So this is an easy assignment, at the base in Antarctica, keep the misdemeanors in line.<br/><br/>But a body is spotted. They retrieve it and find out it is one of their scientists. And from the wounds and the disfigurement, he must have been thrown out of a plane. Murder! The first ever recorded in Antarctica.<br/><br/>The movie is very hard to follow at times. And there is an extended chase and fight scene in the &quot;whiteout&quot; that is very hard to follow because we can&#39;t tell who is who. But in the end most of it becomes clear. Not a great movie, but entertaining enough for mystery and intrigue is a &quot;B&quot; movie.<br/><br/>SPOILERS: As it turns out the Russian plane was loaded with diamonds of the highest quality. It is not clear why they were flying over Antarctica in 1957. Anyway some find out about the diamonds, locate the plane under 50 years of snow, and get the diamonds. The smuggler turns out to be her friend, Tom Skerritt as the base doctor, John Fury. He needed a few bodies so that he could hide the diamonds for shipment back to the States, so he must have been involved with the murders. At least that is what Natalie thinks. But Carrie discovers that and, with no place to hide, the doctor goes out into the -100 F cold without protection, to allow himself to die.

After two years stationed at Antarctica&#39;s South Pole research base, lone U.S. Marshal Carrie Stetko (<a href="/name/nm0000295/">Kate Beckinsale</a>) is as anxious as anyone to be going home. She&#39;s turned in her resignation and is counting the hours and minutes to the last plane out. But three days before departure, a body turns up on the ice, and Carrie is immediately thrust into Antarctica&#39;s first murder investigation. As the death toll mounts, the mystery deepens with shifting loyalties, deadly whiteouts, and a relentless killer who will stop at nothing to protect a secret buried for over 60 years. Now with everyone around her packing up and getting out, Carrie must solve the crime before Antarctica is plunged into six months of darkness and she is stranded with the killer on a land where nothing comes in and no one gets out. Whiteout is adapted from a 4-issue comic-book miniseries written by Greg Rucka with art by Steve Lieber, published by Oni Press in 1998. The story was collected as a graphic novel in 2001. Much of the work at the station revolves around analysing core samples of ice. The Antarctic ice pack has been accumulating for millennia. As it accumulates, gas from the atmosphere is trapped in the ice. By drilling down into the ice and removing core samples, scientists can measure the composition of the atmosphere when the ice first formed. By examining other details of the ice, they can make judgements about temperature levels. Because the ice has been compressed under tons of more ice for millennia, the gas trapped in the ice is extremely compressed. If you put the ice in room temperature water or liquor, this compressed gas escapes, making it look like it is boiling.
