The Way Back (2010)

The Way Back (2010) is an epic survival drama directed by Peter Weir, inspired by the true story of a group of prisoners who escape from a Siberian gulag during World War II. The film is based on the book The Long Walk by Slavomir Rawicz.
The story follows a diverse group of prisoners, including Janusz (Jim Sturgess), a Polish man wrongfully accused of espionage, who escapes from a brutal Soviet labor camp. Along with fellow inmates, including the rugged Smith (Ed Harris), the cynical Khabarov (Colin Farrell), and the determined Irena (Saoirse Ronan), they embark on a perilous journey across thousands of miles of treacherous terrain.
Facing extreme weather conditions, hunger, and the constant threat of being recaptured, the group must rely on their strength, resilience, and camaraderie as they traverse the harsh landscapes of Siberia, Mongolia, and eventually make their way to India.
