What Is Stranded About?

The premise of Stranded without spoilers.

Rural Minnesota teacher Miss Enter (Bette Davis) endures a ferocious snow blizzard that traps her and several pupils inside a one‑room schoolhouse nine miles from the nearest shelter. A snow‑plow crawls at under one mile per hour along a snow‑packed dirt road that circles the building, prompting Miss Enter to devise a clever escape plan that offers a chance of rescue for the stranded children.
