Synopsis

Based on the inspiring true story that captured the hearts of people across the world, the rescue adventure EVERYBODY LOVES WHALES tells the amazing tale of a small town news reporter (John Krasinski) and a Greenpeace volunteer (Drew Barrymore) who are joined by rival world superpowers to save a family of majestic gray whales trapped under the ice of the Arctic Circle. Local newsman Adam Carlson (Krasinski) can't wait to escape the northern tip of Alaska for a bigger market. But just when the story of his career breaks, the world comes chasing it, too. With an oil tycoon, heads of state and hungry journalists descending upon the frigid outpost, the one who worries Adam the most is Rachel Kramer (Barrymore). Not only is she an outspoken environmentalist, she's also his ex-girlfriend. With time running out, the unlikely coalition of Inuit whalers and Russian and American military must set aside competing agendas to rescue the baby whale and his parents. As Rachel and Adam turn attention to the top of the globe, saving these endangered animals becomes a shared cause for nations entrenched against one another and leads to a thaw in the Cold War.
