Richiev's logline serves the purpose. ?But I agree with Nir Shelter that the story lacks a hook to make it stand out as a new and different take on the man versus nature genre. ?It needs to find a trail less traveled through the genre?-- or blaze a new one.

When their helicopter crashes, two forest?rangers must survive the wild to make it back to civilization.

Agreed with Nicholas.

I'll add that boiled down to it, this is a survival story - man v wild. The most recent successful example of a similar example is 'The Grey', which just barely made it by the skin of its teeth (pun intended). I don't believe a mere survival story can make it today, especially in lieu of having the likes of Bear Grills on TV. You need an additional layer of interest, most likely best served in form of an obstacle. The Grey used a pack of unusually dangerous wolves, what's yours? Again only my opinion but the background story of searching for the child won't do or isn't enough.
