Synopsis
Inspired by Slavomir Rawicz's acclaimed novel, "The Long Walk:
The True Story of a Trek to Freedom" as well as other real life
accounts, THE WAY BACK is directed by six time Oscar nominated Peter
Weir (WITNESS, MASTER AND COMMANDER and DEAD POET'S SOCIETY). It is
a remarkable adventure story chronicling the escape of a small group
of multi-national prisoners from a Siberian gulag in 1940 and their
epic life affirming journey over thousands of miles across five
hostile countries.
A heroic story of survival, solidarity and indomitable human will
THE WAY BACK was shot in Bulgaria, Morocco and India, and stars Jim
Sturgess (ACROSS THE UNIVERSE, THE OTHER BOLEYN GIRL), Ed Harris
(APPALOOSA) and Colin Farrell (IN BRUGES) as prisoners of a Soviet
Union labour camp, who, along with four others, flee their Siberian
Gulag and begin a treacherous journey across thousands of miles of
hostile terrain.
Academy Award® nominee Saoirse Ronan (ATONEMENT, THE LOVELY BONES)
and Mark Strong (THE YOUNG VICTORIA, SHERLOCK HOLMES) co-star.
Written by Weir and Keith Clarke, the film is Peter’s first since
2003’s MASTER AND COMMANDER: THE FAR SIDE OF THE WORLD.
