Most of these films that were set in Alaska were also filmed in Alaska. With the exception of a couple, all of these films boast the beautiful and intense wilderness that Alaska is well known for.

- The Edge

- The Bourne Legacy

- The Grey
“The Grey Poster” by Source. Licensed under Fair use via Wikipedia This film is all about surviving Alaska. The group of men in the film are forced to survive in Alaska after their plane crashes. Freezing or starving to death are the least of their worries.
- 30 Days of Night
“30 Days of Night teaser poster”. Via Wikipedia Ah yes, the eerie vampire horror film. Of course it had to be set in Alaska where 30 days of night is a real thing. What better place to set a vampire movie than in a state that experiences 30 days of night every winter?
- Into the Wild
“Into-the-wild”. Via Wikipedia The film is an adaption of the famous book following the travels of Christopher McCandless and his time in Alaska. A must see!
- The Guardian

- The Fourth Kind
“The Fourth Kind” by Source. Licensed under Fair use via Wikipedia This well known science fiction horror film was set in Nome, Alaska but was filmed in Canada where the scenery holds little resemblance to the actual setting of the movie. Still, it will give you goosebumps!
