The Weight

Oregon, 1933: After the death of his wife, Samuel Murphy (Ethan Hawke) is ripped from his daughter Penny and is imprisoned in a brutal labor camp. Warden Clancy (Russel Crowe), Murphy's watchful and ruthless overseer, offers a high-stakes proposition: smuggle gold out of a remote mine with a dangerous crew of prisoners and he’ll win his freedom. But as the group journeys into the unforgiving wilderness, the real threat isn’t the terrain - it’s the betrayal and violence festering within their ranks. Surrounded by greed, suspicion, and danger, Samuel must risk everything to reunite with his child.<div><div><br></div><div><div>Premiering at Sundance 2026, Padraic McKinley’s tense, atmospheric Depression-era drama follows a group of desperate convicts on a journey through a physically and morally treacherous backcountry. Set against the stark beauty of the Oregon landscape, <i>The Weight</i>&nbsp;turns a stripped-down tale of desperation into a gripping, hard-hitting thriller. Ethan Hawke gives a muscular performance as the film’s reluctant but resourceful hero, while Russell Crowe is quietly menacing as his foil.</div></div></div>ThrillerPT1H53MMA15+
