Liam Neeson in The Grey (2011)

FAQ

The Grey

FAQ



    Seven survivors of a plane crash in the wintery northern Alaska wilderness—John Ollway (Liam Neeson), John Diaz (), Peter Hendrick (), Talget (), Burke (), Hernandez (Ben Hernandez Bray), and Flannery (Joe Anderson)—are pursed by a pack of grey wolves as they attempt to make their way across the open tundra in order to hide in a clump of trees.



    The Grey is based on the novella "Ghost Walker" by Ian Mackenzie Jeffers. Jeffers wrote the screenplay for the movie, along with American film maker Joe Carnahan, who also produced and directed the film.



    Once more into the fray, Into the last good fight I'll ever know, Live and die on this day, Live and die on this day.



    Movies recommended by viewers that depict survival after plane crashes in the frozen north include The Edge (1997) (1999), in which two rivals crash land in Alaska and must work together to survive while being stalked by a huge Kodiak bear, and The Snow Walker (2003) (2003), in which a bush pilot and an Inuit Eskimo woman crash land in the Canadian Arctic. Although it takes place in the snow swept Andes, Alive (1993) (1993) is the story of a rugby team whose plane crashes, forcing them to survive by taking extreme measures. Other movies about survival in the snowy north include Runaway Train (1985) (1985) in which two escaped convicts are trapped on a runaway train in the Alaskan winter, Far North (2007) (2007 in which two women attempt to survive in the frozen Arctic, Limbo (1999) (1999) in which, after witnessing a murder, three people take refuge in the Alaskan wilderness, The Wild North (1952) (1952) in which a French-Canadian trapper is pursued by an inexperienced Mountie who ends up needing the help of the trapper to get out of the wilderness alive, The Savage Innocents (1960) (1960) in which an Eskimo is pursued by the police, Zero Kelvin (1995) [Zero Kelvin] (1995) in which three men spend the Arctic winter together in a tiny cabin in East Greenland, and Frozen (2010) (2010) in which three college students are trapped on a ski lift after it closes down for the week. The Revenant (2015) (2015) may be of interest.
