A 2022 American drama adventure directed by Malgorzata Szumowska that has a climber (Naomi Watts) getting caught in a blizzard and finding a stranger (Billy Howle) stranded and the two must get down the mountain before nightfall.
The movie also stars Denis O'Hare, Parker Sawyers, Eliot Sumner, and Josh Rollins.
It was released on March 25, 2022.
Tropes for the film:
- Agony of the Feet: After John crazily leaps off of a rock outcropping, Pam finds him lying in a hollow with his foot splayed on a rock behind him. When she lifts it off, it turns out his ankle is broken, causing him to scream in agony.
- When she later treats the foot properly, we can see his frostbitten toes.
- Dark and Troubled Past:
- Pam lost two daughters due to carbon monoxide poisoning in the building they were living in.
- John lost a loved one due to her freezing to death on the same mountain that Pam found him on.
- Extremely Short Timespan: The movie takes place over the course of a day.
- No Full Name Given: The man that Pam rescued insists on just being called "John", with no last name given over the course of the film.
- Outliving One's Offspring: Pam's daughters died young due to carbon monoxide poisoning in the building they were living in at the time.
- Worst Aid: Despite the movie getting a lot of details right, some of Pam's actions are not helpful - such as when John leaps off a small rock outcrop and Pam lifts his foot off of the rock it's lying on without first checking to see if anything has been broken (which it has), and apparently not having any roller bandages in her first-aid kit to at least support the affected ankle.
