Seven survivors of a plane crash in the wintery northern Alaska wilderness-John Ottway (Liam Neeson), John Diaz (Frank Grillo), Pete Henrick (Dallas Roberts), Talget (Dermot Mulroney), Burke (Nonso Anozie), Hernandez (Ben Hernandez Bray), and Flannery (Joe Anderson)-are pursued by a pack of grey wolves as they attempt to make their way across the open tundra in order to make their way out alive.

The Grey is based on the novella "Ghost Walker" by Ian Mackenzie Jeffers. Jeffers wrote the screenplay for the movie, along with American film maker Joe Carnahan, who also produced and directed the film.

Once more into the fray,
Into the last good fight I'll ever know,

Live and die on this day.
