Casey Affleck, Matt Damon

In this hypnotic film from ground-breaking director Gus Van Sant, two friends, both named Gerry (Matt Damon and Casey Affleck), pull off the highway to hike on a wilderness trail. Their casual decision to go off the main path has dire consequences as they lose their way in the harsh terrain. At first, their confidence and humour propel them forward, but as they wander through landscapes of austere beauty and hours turn into days, the seriousness of their situation takes hold. As their strength and chances of survival begin to dissipate, the depth of their friendship is put to the ultimate test. Following their collaboration on the Academy Award®-winning Good Will Hunting, Gus Van Sant (Milk, My Own Private Idaho) and Matt Damon join together with Casey Affleck (Ocean's Eleven) to bring this intense portrait of human endurance to life
