A half-wolf, half-husky named Balto gets a chance to become a hero when an outbreak of diphtheria threatens the children of Nome, Alaska in the winter of 1925. He leads a dog team on a 600-mile trip across the Alaskan wilderness to get medical supplies. The film is based on a true story which inspired the Iditarod dog sled race.

Boris: Let me tell you something Balto. A dog can not make this journey alone, but maybe a wolf can.

Boris: Not a dog. Not a wolf. All he knows is what he's not. If only he could see what he is.

Boris: Poor Balto. He's going into freezing coldness to find the dog he doesn't like and bring medicine back to a town that doesn't like him.
