During the winter of 1846, a group of westward bound settlers is stranded in the Sierra Nevada Mountains. They must reach California for salvation, but without food and a guide, the group becomes disillusioned and decisions must be made so that others can stay alive. Inspired by the infamous Donner Party tragedy, the film is a harrowing look at survival and how far some will go to achieve it.

Best movie I've seen at AFF thus far. Well done. Foster is Dr. Doom and Eddie is Mr. Fantastic meets the Thing.
