The Mountain Between Us (2017) is a survival drama film directed by Hany Abu-Assad and based on the 2011 novel by Charles Martin. It’s a blend of romance, adventure, and drama, set against the backdrop of a harsh and unforgiving wilderness.

When a snowstorm grounds all flights, Alex Martin, a photojournalist heading to her wedding, and Dr. Ben Bass, a neurosurgeon needing to perform urgent surgery, charter a private plane to reach their destinations. The plane crashes in a remote mountain wilderness after the pilot suffers a stroke mid-flight. Stranded with no means of communication and facing extreme cold, injury, and starvation, the two strangers must work together to survive. As they journey across the brutal landscape, they develop an emotional bond that complicates their lives once they return to civilization.
