The Island with Bear Grylls

Survival expert Bear Grylls strands 14 ordinary men on a deserted Pacific island. And the stakes could not be more real as heat exhaustion and severe dehydration puts the life of one man in jeopardy.

The men struggle to find fresh water while battling exhaustion, dehydration and each other. One man breaks down.

The men grow desperate for food, and the mental and physical challenges take their toll on more than one participant.

The men with families begin to rethink their reasons for leaving their loved ones behind. Will the men find food before those contemplating leaving the Island throw in the towel?

The majority of the men begin to discover the difference between surviving and thriving -- shelters and a community. But there is a clear divide as Dakota and Jim remain content to stay separated from the main camp and do nothing.

With the end in sight, the divide between the camps comes to a head, and a fight ensues between the men. Finally, after a 28-day struggle to survive, Bear Grylls returns and faces a group of truly changed men.
