The Way Back



Not action packed but decent.

This is more the human will type of movie.   A guy goes to a prison camp in around the time of Communist Russia after he gets sentenced to 20 years for treason or espionage(that's spying for some of u ignants out there).  In America, I believe that is punishable by death, treason is.  But this movie somehow manages to make the Russians look bad for sending this dude to jail.


Once in this cold ass jail the main dude get approached by a co-prisoner and they end up chopping it up about an escape.  While dude who came up with the idea was a bitch ass dude and wasn't really with it other prisoners were down.  So they escape from this prison in the middle of no where.  The fucked up thing is it's winter in already cold ass Russia.  Once anyone escape the townspeople will kill anyone as their will be a bounty place on the heads of any escapee so they can't go to town.  

So what now?  They escape and set of on a journey for thousands of miles in search of India or China for safe haven away from those evil Russian communists.   Some die and some live onthis journey.  In typical fashion, of these types of movies, there are times where the journey seems impossible.   Some want to quit.  Some are stronger than others.  Some die and say leave me and then you get the "No I'm not leaving you" guy trying to inspire the giver upper.  Blah blah blah and they make it.

3.5 / 5
