Four-time Oscar nominee Ed Harris (Apollo 13), Jim Sturgess (Across the Universe) and Oscar nominee Saoirse Ronan (Atonement) and Colin Farrell (In Bruges) star in this epic saga of survival from six-time Oscar-nominee Peter Weir (Witness, Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World). Inspired by an incredible true story, THE WAY BACK begins in 1940 when seven prisoners attempt the impossible: escape from a brutal Siberian gulag. Thus begins a treacherous 4,500-mile trek to freedom across the world's most merciless landscapes. They have little food and few supplies. They don't know or trust each other. But together, they must withstand nature at is most extreme. Their humanity is further tested when they meet a teenage runaway who begs to join them on their quest. A compelling testament to the human spirit, this gripping wilderness adventure is "Peter Weir at his hypnotic best" (Telluride Film Festival).

Once you've read the book the movie is painfully pathetic. Want an unforgettable and profound experience? READ THE BOOK. If you want to be totally unaffected, watch this movie. This stuff actually happened and the film leaves out every single thing that matters, that's real, that's important and I guess for kicks they threw in things that trivialized what these people experienced. The book leaves a very lasting impression & will likely change you on some level.

Take the stereotypes out and it could be a four star. You have the never die american, the tough as nails russian, the whiney jew that you make people dislike and the weaker than everyone girl. Make them real. If this is a true story they all can't be as they were portrayed.

This movie is based a true story of Sławomir Rawicz, The Long Walk. Just as in this movie, a group of men and eventually a young lady escape the Siberian slave camps. In that group, an American. What is interesting is the wife of the camp's commandant secretly suggested they flee south towards India. Any other way was too dangerous. The most intriguing chapter was Rawicz' group's encounter with the Yeti. A British paper was writing a series on it and a reporter was dispatched to interview a reluctant Rawicz, who settled in Britain. This is a great film but left out key elements of Rawicz story.
