Alien at the Movies

The Ice Road

Trapped Manitoba miners caught in a cave in & running out of breathable air require a team of ice road truckers on a tight deadline to deliver critical rescue equipment. Liam Neeson stars as Mike the trucker, a far cry from his Schindler, Qui-Gon, & Bryan Mills characters. When this dangerous long haul becomes plagued with many unexpected setbacks, Mike & the team must use their McGyver skills to salvage their rescue mission. It’s an action packed thrill ride rolling over frozen lakes, driving on icy roads, & fighting off a relentless enemy. Laurence Fishbourne has a small supporting role. At the heart of the story is the love of one’s brother.

Alien gives it 3 “truck truck truck” stars out of 4.
