In Alaska, an oil drilling team struggle to survive after a plane crash strands them in the wild. Hunting the humans are a pack of wolves who see them as intruders. A team working on an oil drilling station in the Arctic gets word that the company is flying them back to Anchorage for a break. Less than an hour into the flight, they fly into a blizzard and the plane goes down. The are only a handful of survivors, one of whom is Ottway (Liam Neeson), who wants nothing more but to get back home to the woman he loves. He takes charge and leads the men in an attempt to survive the bitter cold. They start a fire for warmth but soon notice they're surrounded by a pack of huge wolves, who are closing in on them.

PRO REVIEWS

----------------------------------------
"A fine, tough little movie, technically assured and brutally efficient, with a simple story that ventures into some profound existential territory" (A. O. Scott: The New York Times)

----------------------------------------
"A terrifically exciting, deeply unsettling survivalist epic (...) The Grey, full of beauty and terror and a healing sense of grace, brings us face to face with our own worst fears (...) Rating: *** (out of four)" (Peter Travers: Rolling Stone)

----------------------------------------
"It is, even as melodramatic and sometimes implausible entertainment, the best studio movie in a long time (...) Rating: ***1/4 (out of four)" (Colin Covert: Minneapolis Star Tribune )

----------------------------------------
"Certainly an adventure film but one with a spiritual ingredient that is both surprising and fiercely resonant" (John Anderson: Variety)

----------------------------------------
"Prepare to be devastated" (Rex Reed: The New York Observer)

----------------------------------------
"What starts as a tense and moody survival thriller fairly quickly becomes tedious (...) Rating: ** (out of four)" (Claudia Puig: USA Today)

----------------------------------------
"'The Grey' advances with pitiless logic. (...) Rating: *** (out of four)" (Roger Ebert: Chicago Sun-Times)
