Our take
A US NR action thriller with Liam Neeson as a trucker honoring his brother's dying wish in Nepal. Violence and injury detail sit with mercenary attacks on a tour bus, gunfire and cliffside peril. Grief over a lost brother adds emotional weight. Fine for older teens who accept formula action; not for young kids.
Uplifting themes
Protecting innocents and honoring family motivate the hero Neeson's character risks himself for passengers and villagers
Story (may spoil tone)
Big rig ice road driver Mike McCann travels to Nepal to scatter his late brother’s ashes on Mt. Everest. While on a packed tour bus traversing the deadly 12,000 ft. terrain of the infamous Road to the Sky, McCann and his mountain guide encounter a group of mercenaries and must fight to save themselves, the busload of innocent travelers, and the local villagers’ homeland.
