Meek's Cutoff

In 1845, the earliest days of the Oregon Trail, a wagon train of three families hires mountain man Stephen Meek (Bruce Greenwood) to guide them over the Cascade Mountains. Claiming to know a shortcut, Meek leads the group on an unmarked path across the high plain desert. Over the coming days, lost in the heat, the settlers face hunger, thirst and a lack of faith in each person's instincts for survival. Four-time Oscar nominee, Michelle Williams leads a strong cast in this dramatic western.

"A mesmerizing cinematic journey that is often as arduous and spare as the lives of its hard-bitten protagonists." - Ann Hornaday, Washington Post
