A triumphant epic of survival and a tale of powerful womanhood and resistance against the unforgiving cruelty of a hell on earth. Our heroine is Liz (Dakota Fanning), carved from the beautiful wilderness, full of heart and grit, hunted by a vengeful Preacher (Guy Pearce)--a diabolical zealot and her twisted nemesis. But Liz is no victim: she's a survivor, a woman of fearsome strength who responds with astonishing bravery to claim the better life that she and her daughter deserve. Fear not. Retribution is coming.
