WHAT IF YOUR LIFE DEPENDED ON A STRANGER?
When their flights are cancelled, a neurosurgeon and a photographer (Idris Elba, Kate Winslet) hire a private pilot to fly them to Denverā¦ but the plane crashes on a mountain in the High Uintas Wilderness. A survival drama that also offers a romance as two strangers (and a cute dog) struggle in the snow to survive, fighting the cold, injuries and wild animals. People who form special bonds during a disaster is a familiar theme and thereās no depth here beyond the sheer emotional, but it goes a long way, especially thanks to the two starsā charismatic performances.
