The Way Back (2010)

The Way Back (2010) is an epic survival drama film directed by Peter Weir, inspired by the memoir The Long Walk by Slavomir Rawicz, though the historical accuracy of the story has been debated. The film stars Jim Sturgess, Colin Farrell, Ed Harris, Saoirse Ronan, and Mark Strong. It follows a group of prisoners who escape from a Siberian gulag during World War II and embark on a harrowing journey across thousands of miles to gain their freedom.
Set during the early years of World War II, The Way Back begins in a Soviet labor camp in Siberia, where a group of prisoners — including political dissidents, criminals, and foreign captives — are being held in brutal conditions. The story centers on Janusz (Jim Sturgess), a Polish soldier accused of espionage, who becomes determined to escape.
