"The wilderness is unforgiving – sand, thirst and uncertainty are the only companions."
Released in 2010, Meek's Cutoff is a masterpiece from award-winning director Kelly Reichardt . It's a Western with a completely different feel: a stripped-down, realistic, and harrowingly thrilling tale of survival set in the Oregon desert in 1845.
Three families are on a journey toward a better life, but their guide, Stephen Meek (Bruce Greenwood), leads them astray in the barren wilderness. As water dwindles and distrust grows, the members of the wagon train must decide whether they can trust their guide - or a captured Indian who may be their only hope.
