 Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })A 2011 film by Peter Weir, starring Jim Sturgess, Colin Farrell, Ed Harris and Saoirse Ronan.In 1941, seven escapees from a Soviet gulag try to make their way to freedom from Siberia to Mongolia. Along the way, they pick up an orphan runaway, but as soon as they reach Mongolia, they realize that it is Communist as well: they are not safer there than in Russia, and they have to keep going south. This involves crossing the Gobi desert, a part of China and Tibet (which were separate at that time), go through the Himalayas, to make it to safety in India.Not to be confused with 2020's The Way Back.

 Bittersweet Ending: Several of them make it to India and Janusz is eventually reunited with his wife, but by the time the movie's over half the cast has died pretty horribly.

 Big Brother Instinct: The younger members of the group look after Irena like she's a little sister, but it's especially noticeable with Valka — who is also the group's only criminal. They bond over the fact that they were both orphans and homeless children. Voss bonds with her quite a bit as well. He's the one who goes back for her, he makes her a hat to protect her from the sun, and he's the one who carries her when her feet hurt too much to walk.

 Based on a True Story: Sort of. It's based on a memoir, though the extent of its authenticity has been questioned. note If you are curious: loosely speaking, it's generally considered true that a Polish man made such a trek, what's not is who this guy was and how he did it.
