Alex is a risk-taker, ready to set off to find civilization as soon as possible. As the two start to understand the severity of their predicament, they have different ideas of how to survive in the elements. What are the odds? In one of the most well-shot crash scenes I’ve seen on-film in a long time, director Hany Abu-Assad puts the audience in the cabin, experiencing the crash through one long take. Alex has a badly broken leg, while Ben and the dog are relatively uninjured. The small plane that Alex and Ben chartered crashes after the pilot (Beau Bridges) suffers a stroke mid-flight. Cutting it a littleeee close, aren’t we, guys? When their flight is canceled due to an impending storm, Alex asks Ben to charter a private flight back home with her… I can only assume because :ahem: it’s Idris Elba. ![]() Ben (Idris Elba), a neurosurgeon, is also racing home to perform a complex surgery on a young patient. The real question here is, what did Kate do to ruin her travel karma so epically that she can’t travel via boat - or now a plane - without fear of death?Īlex (Kate Winslet), a photojournalist, is returning home from an assignment just in time for her wedding. This time, the star-crossed couple is isolated in the rugged Canadian wilderness, with only each other (and a dog) to get them through it. But don’t worry, in THE MOUNTAIN BETWEEN US Kate’s vying for Idris Elba’s affection (lucky girl)… and the “will they, won’t they” does not feature our heroes attempting to fit on a floating door. It’s been 20 years since we last saw Kate Winslet in a romance-disaster movie…trying to survive, yet freezing to death beside a handsome love interest.
