The Way Back

Four-time Oscar® nominee** Ed Harris (Apollo 13), Jim Sturgess (Across the Universe), Oscar® nominee*** Saorsie Ronan (Atonement), and Colin Farrell (In Bruges) star in this epic saga of survival from six-time Oscar® nominee† Peter Weir (Master and Commander: The Far Side of the Moon). Inspired by an incredible true story, THE WAY BACK begins in 1940 when seven prisoners attempt the impossible: escape from a brutal Siberan gulag. Thus begins a treacherous 4,500-mile trek to freedom across the world's most merciless landscapes. Their humanity is further tested when they meet a teenage runway who begs to join them on their quest. A compelling testament to the human spirit, this gripping wilderness adventure is "Peter Weir at his hypnotic best" (Telluride Film Festival). © 2010 Siberian Productions, LLC. All Rights Reserved.
