It is always a pleasure to watch one of Ed Harris movies.

The plot hooks you and the staging is impressive but the movie is not as thrilling as it could have been.

***Better to die free than live under the shackles of communism***

"The Way Back" (2010) takes place circa 1940-42 and details a group's mad escape from a Siberian gulag through the cold, desolate Soviet wilderness into Mongolia, across the great Gobi desert, through mountainous Tibet and ultimately freedom in India. The film was inspired by Slavomir Rawicz' popular book "The Long Walk: The True Story of a Trek to Freedom," but not based on it… read the rest.
