EXCLUSIVE: Danny Huston (Wonder Woman), Oscar nominee Graham Greene (Dances with Wolves), Martin Sensmeier (Yellowstone), Oliver Trevena (Plane) and DeVaughn Nixon (Winning Time: The Rise of the Lakers Dynasty) are joining Joel Kinnaman and Cara Jade Myers in thriller Ice Fall.

The film centers on a young Indigenous game warden who arrests an infamous poacher only to discover that the poacher knows the location of a plane carrying millions of dollars that has crashed in a frozen lake. When a group of criminals and dirty cops are alerted to the poacher’s whereabouts, the warden and the poacher team up to fight back and escape across the treacherous lake before the ice melts.
