Synopsis
After a remote diamond mine collapses in far northern Canada, a ‘big-rig’ ice road driver Mike McCann (LIAM NEESON) must lead an impossible rescue mission over a frozen ocean to save the trapped miners before their oxygen runs out. Contending with thawing waters and a massive storm, they discover the real threat is one they never saw coming.
Ice road veteran Mike McCann, along with his younger brother Gurty (MARCUS THOMAS), a gifted mechanic though impacted by aphasia from a war injury, join a hastily assembled team of skilled ice road drivers (LAURENCE FISHBURNE and AMBER MIDTHUNDER) who embark on a dangerous rescue mission. Mike and the team are forced to conquer stalled engines, cracking ice, violent pressure waves, deadly explosions, entire big rig trucks falling into the dark frozen waters, white-outs, an avalanche, and the death of their operation leader, all of which culminates in an epic showdown between Mike and the assassin, who seeks to bury them all beneath Lake Winnipeg.
