Details
Lost on a Mountain in Main became one of Netflix's most popular films just days after its release. The film, released on July 13, 2025, tells the incredible story of Donn Fendler. It is the true story of a 12-year-old boy who got lost in the mountains in the 1930s and spent nine days alone, trying to survive in the wilderness. The events take place in the wilderness of Maine, in the northeastern United States.
In 1939, Donn Fendler went hiking on Mount Katahdin. But a storm separated him from his companions. The boy's disappearance sparked a large-scale search operation. Authorities, volunteers, family members, and neighbors participated in it.
For the first few days, the search was conducted by the boy's father and uncles. At the same time, Donn, due to lack of visibility, lost his bearings and got lost on the mountain. The teenager did not know how to return to the reverse route; he lived these days almost without food and without the possibility of contacting his family.
