Set during the Depression era in 1933, The Weight follows Samuel (Ethan Hawke), a man cruelly torn away from his young daughter and thrown into a brutal prison camp. His only lifeline comes from Warden Clancy (Russell Crowe), who presents him with a high-stakes deal: smuggle stolen gold out of a remote mine alongside a dangerous crew of fellow convicts, and he will earn his freedom.
Padraic McKinley's confident debut recalls the character-driven action dramas of yesteryear, with Ethan Hawke and Russell Crowe expertly carrying this tense, effective survival tale.
