A married couple find their relationship tested when their family ski vacation is abruptly sidelined by a near-fatal disaster.

Check out the first official trailer for "Downhill," the upcoming American remake of the critically acclaimed Swedish film "Force Majeure."

Will Ferrell stars opposite Julia Louis-Dreyfus in this darkly comic disaster film about a long-married couple who, while on a vacation in the Alps, suffers a near-death experience when an avalanche nearly hits their ski lodge.

Ferrell's character lands himself in the doghouse when his wife (Louis-Dreyfus) becomes increasingly disgusted by his snap decision to flee and leave her and their children behind during the chaotic event. Their marriage is put through the wringer as they try to salvage their vacation and also their now-fractured relationship.

Miranda Otto (The Lord Of The Rings Films), Zach Woods (Silicon Valley), Kristofer Hivju (Game of Thrones), and Zoe Chao (Where'd You Go, Bernadette) co-star.

"Downhill" is directed and co-written by comic actors Nat Faxon and Jim Rash, who each earned Oscars for co-writing the Alexander Payne dramedy "The Descendants." Faxon and Rash also previously wrote and directed the coming-of-age comedy "The Way Way Back."

The film is due to hit theaters on February 14, 2020. It's also set to make its world premiere next month at Sundance. Watch the trailer, above.
