A plane goes down on an isolated, snow-buried mountainside, and within minutes the story stops being about survivors and becomes about survival itself - one person's fight to stay alive long enough to be found.
What is Survive about?
Jane boards a flight already carrying private grief, and when the aircraft crashes into a remote, snow-covered range, that grief is quickly overtaken by the far more immediate problem of staying alive. Paul, a fellow passenger, is the only other person who makes it out, and the two are forced into an uneasy partnership neither of them chose. With no rescue in sight and the mountain offering little beyond cold, altitude, and dwindling daylight, they have to make a series of hard calls about when to move, when to shelter, and how much risk either can survive. The film keeps its scale small and its stakes personal, following two strangers as physical endurance forces out truths about who they are that a normal circumstance never would.
About the cast
Sophie Turner plays Jane, carrying most of the film as a woman whose survival instinct has to override everything else happening in her head. Corey Hawkins plays Paul, the other passenger she is thrown together with, and the pair's dynamic - practical, tense, occasionally combative - drives most of the runtime. Caroline Goodall and a small supporting cast fill out the edges of the story around the two leads.
Context & significance
Adapted from a novel of the same name, the film sits in the tradition of stripped-down wilderness survival stories, where a small cast, a hostile landscape, and a limited timeframe replace a larger plot. Its adventure and thriller elements come less from external threats than from cold, terrain, and the slow toll both take on two people already stretched thin before the crash. Shot to emphasize scale - tiny figures against an enormous, indifferent mountain - the film uses its setting as pressure rather than backdrop, keeping the drama tightly focused on the choices Jane and Paul make under conditions with no easy way out.
