Inspired by an incredible true story, this epic film of survival against-the-odds tells the story of a group of seven prisoners who escaped from a Soviet gulag in Stalin-era Russia and walked over 4,000 miles across some of the most unforgiving terrain in the world, crossing the Siberian Arctic, the Gobi desert and the Himalayas before finally arriving in British-ruled India. 2010 Siberian Productions LLC.

The way back tell the story of a group of prisoners in a russian gulag and the epic journey from arctic Siberia across the Gobi desert and over the Himalayas to freedom and redemption. Mostof the characters are political prisoners incarcerated for alledged charges against the corrupt communist regime, apart from the carreer criminal played by Colin Farrell. The stand out performance by Farrell is convincing and totally gripping. Well worth watching for this performance alone.

I felt that the characters of this film, including Colin Farrell's role was superb. Very well acted and as a guy watching the film, I felt heart felt sorrow and joy at the same time. Won't give anything away, but even I was in tears. very enjoyable to watch and worth the subscription to watch it for a few hours.

Inspired by many polish event(s) / accounts. Politically Correct mise en scene, found even space for some multi-cultural group "working" together in order to survive, (incl north-americans!) this was the only down side to me. Rawicz book is better
