The Trail (2013)
Late 19th century, a woman with little to no survival skills is the sole survivor of a wagon train to California that was attacked by Indians.
This movie was excellent and I highly recommend it. There is a very good presentation of the main character's Christian faith helping her to survive. (Rare in this day to see Hollywood present an historically accurate Christian character as something other than a two dimensional caricature!) Whether you share her faith or not, you come away from this movie realizing how important faith and hope are to overcoming obstacles and surviving against the odds. It is important to suspend one's disbelief in the improbability of the events depicted and focus more on the message of the film. I suspect that the bad reviews are from folks that just "don't get it." This movie is one that is safe to watch with the family and one which you'll be discussing after it's over.
