The Way Back



Based on the true story of a group of men who escape a Siberian prison and end up in India. World War II Stalin puts these men in prison. One a career criminal when escapes stays in Russia (Colin Farrell). A Polish accountant, baker, artist, and soldier - the artist dies in the Gobi desert along with a Russian girl that joined them along the way (girl from Hanna). They had hoped to stop in Mongolia only to find it was communism and so turned toward Tibet and over the mountains to find freedom from communism. The American played by Ed Harris leaves the Polish men in Tibet to try to get to America. The main character vows to return to his home in Poland after the communist leave. All in all, I say: SEE IT if you like long journeys or movies about escape.
