Stranded survivors endure a gritty, intimate struggle against the elements, finding unexpected connection in the vast wilderness.
Suspenseful and melancholy. A date-night pick at a measured pace. Emotionally it is heavy.
Not on a US subscription service as of Oct 28, 2026.
No surprises for a PG-13: some innuendo or implied sex and mild language.
Rated PG-13, but by what is on screen our estimate is fine from about 10.
How we rate: an AI reads what is known about each title and tags it 0 to 3; we check the tags against a hand-rated set and correct them by hand when readers tell us. Estimates, not a scene-by-scene review. Spot a mistake? Tell us.
Stranded on a mountain after a tragic plane crash, two strangers must work together to endure the extreme elements of the remote, snow-covered terrain.
