"Magic Mike" and "White Collar" star Matt Bomer finds himself battling the harsh icy elements of the Montana wilderness in the trailer for the father-son survival thriller "Walking Out."

While starring opposite rising young actor Josh Wiggins (Mean Dreams, Max), Bomer plays Cal, an experienced mountaineer who has decided to take his young teenage son, David, on a hunting trip through the snow-covered Montana forest. But what starts out as an exciting way to reconnect with his estranged son quickly turns into a harrowing fight for survival when Cal breaks his leg, leaving fourteen-year-old David to do most of the heavy lifting.

Co-starring Bill Pullman, "Walking Out" comes from filmmaking brothers Alex and Andrew Smith. The duo previously made the 2013 Montana-set Native American drama "Winter in the Blood."

The film, which premiered to strong reviews at Sundance this year, is being released in theaters and on VOD October 6th, via IFC Films.

synopsis:
An estranged father and son are forced to rely on one another to survive an unforgiving wilderness in this riveting, richly emotional thriller. Once a year, fourteen-year-old David (Josh Wiggins) travels from his mother’s home in Texas to visit his loner father, Cal (Matt Bomer), in the remote mountains of Montana. There, the two embark on their annual hunting excursion, during which the taciturn Cal attempts to connect with his smartphone-addicted son. But when a terrifying turn of events leaves Cal critically wounded, it’s up to the teenage David to summon enough strength for both of them. Infused with a deep reverence for the rugged beauty and harsh realities of the Montana landscape, Walking Out is both a tense survival saga and a disarmingly moving father-son tale.
