THE WAY Back, the new film starring Jim Sturgess and Ed Harris, along with Irish actors Colin Farrell and Saoirse Ronan, comes to cinemas on St Stephen’s Day.
Directed by six-time Academy Award nominee Peter Weir, The Way Back is an epic story based on Slavomir Rawicz’s acclaimed book The Long Walk: The True Story of a Trek to Freedom, as well as first-person accounts and anecdotes gathered by Peter Weir and executive producer Keith Clarke.
Under cover of a night time blizzard, seven prisoners caught up in Stalin’s reign of terror escape a Soviet Gulag in 1940. With little food or equipment, and no certainty of their location or intended direction, they embark on a journey that will present unimaginable hardship and drama. All the while, they abide by one unceasing mandate: keep moving, keep moving, keep moving...
