Based on the real events of The Donner Party tragedy. The Donner Party was a group of California-bound American settlers caught up in the western expansion of the 1840s. After becoming snowbound in the Sierra Nevada during the winter of 1846-1847, a number of the trapped settlers joined together in a final effort to reach California and organize a rescue party.

VIBE

A stark, unflinching portrayal of human endurance pushed to its absolute limit. This film feels like a chilling descent into desperation, where the line between survival and savagery blurs against a brutal, unforgiving landscape.
