Trivia:
The trains used in the movie were from the Lake Superior Railroad Museum (LSRM) in Duluth. Because they were actual operating trains, actors could not operate as engineers or the conductors. They were all volunteer employees of the museum. Some of them still work there. more

Anachronisms: When they show the American Flags, you look closely enough, you can see that they are holding a modern 50 Star American Flag. However back when Iron Will was set, there wasn't quite 50 states yet, so there should have been only 48 on the flag - not 50. more

Awesome movie, In the same league as Rocky. Just too good. A must watch.
After his dad "buys the farm" in a tragic dogsledding accident, it's up to young Will Stoneman (Mackenzie Astin) to pay off the mortgage. And there's only one way to do it: Win a $10,000 prize in a 500-mile dogsled race. David Ogden Stiers is the railroad magnate who puts up the prize money, and August Schellenberg is the sage Indian who helps the plucky lad develop an iron will to win.
There was one more hero in this movie apart from Mackenzie Astin, the Dog "Gus" which in the movie was his father's favourite dog. The dog was really terrific.
