Oregon, 1933. Stripped of everything after his wife's death, war veteran Samuel Murphy is torn from his young daughter and thrown into a merciless work camp. The ruthless warden offers him a way out: lead a crew of desperate convicts on a 100-mile gold run through unforgiving terrain, and earn his freedom. But the wilderness isn't the deadliest threat — betrayal is. Ethan Hawke and Russell Crowe headline a gritty, throwback survival thriller about how far a father will go to get home. A Sundance breakout, in theaters September 18.
