"The Way Back" does something different with the way it tells its trek. Most movies will show the landscape in a majestic, sweeping fashion to make the journey seem like an adventure. In this film, the land is a vicious opponent. Seven men escape from a prison in the Soviet Union in the early 1940s. They are quiet, determined men who are willing to travel as far as it takes to get their freedom. Even when they are held by cruel captors, their only true enemy is the weather. The soldiers have guns and can order them to the mines, but they really feel the pain when they have to battle the frigid weather and the vast forest that surrounds them.
