The Grey (2012)
Overview
The Grey is a 2012 American action thriller film directed by Joe Carnahan and starring Liam Neeson. It follows a number of men stranded in Alaska after a plane crash, who are forced to survive using little more than their wits as a pack of wolves comes after them. The film is based on the short story "Ghost Walker" by Ian Mackenzie Jeffers.
John Ottway (Neeson) works in Alaska hunting the wolves that threaten an oil drilling team. On his last day on the job, Ottway pens a letter to his wife Ana (Anna Openshaw) and plans to commit suicide. While holding his gun to his mouth, however, Ottway hears the howl of a wolf, which stops him.
Upon the completion of the job, the team and Ottway embark on a plane home in a blizzard. The plane cannot withstand the weather and it crashes in the middle of nowhere. Ottway awakens and finds Todd Flannery (Joe Anderson) along with Talget (Dermot Mulroney), Diaz (Frank Grillo), Hendrick (Dallas Roberts), Burke (Nonso Anozie), Hernandez (Ben Bray) and a dying Lewenden (James Badge Dale). Lewenden is badly injured and Ottway knows he is going to die. He calms Lewenden, who eventually accepts his situation and dies peacefully.
