What Alone Is About
Alone places ten hardcore survivalists alone in the wilderness – no camera crew, no teams, no producers – on a single mission to stay alive. At stake is $500,000 awarded to the person who can last the longest. They will face extreme isolation and psychological distress as they plunge into the unknown, self-documenting their experience.
What to Expect When You Watch
It runs about 90 minutes and it leans into its adventure/nature roots while leaving room for the quieter character beats.
Performance-wise the film leans on Kevin Burkhardt to carry the emotional weight, with the rest of the ensemble filling out the world around them.
Cast and Creative Team
Kevin Burkhardt lead the cast.
Key roles include Kevin Burkhardt as Host.
Why It Stands Out
Fans of adventure and nature have a clear reason to give this one a shot. It sits comfortably alongside History’s other originals, a 7.9/10 audience score puts it in steady company and it commits to its premise instead of hedging between tones.
Released in 2015 and carried by History, it lands hardest with adventure and nature viewers.
How Alone Compares
If Alone lands for you, the next stops are Avatar: The Last Airbender, Firefly and Game of Thrones, which share its adventure/nature lean.
Each of those sits at a different point on the same spectrum, so they make a natural follow-up once you finish the run here.

On the whole Alone is the kind of film that rewards a patient watch, with Kevin Burkhardt doing the heaviest lifting, a tone that stays true to its adventure/nature roots, It has held up since 2015 and so if the premise sounds like your lane, the execution holds up.
The Bottom Line
Alone is a safe bet for anyone already inside the adventure and nature lane, the audience score holds around 7.9/10 and so there is little risk in starting it tonight.
Verdict: 7.9/10. Watch it if you want adventure/nature you can settle into.
