Liam Neeson Battles The Elements In New Movie

Liam Neeson is back at his old tricks again, and that is saving people from intense and frightening situations where time is of the essence. In the past, we’ve seen him chase a departing plane, survive a plane crash, and best of all, fight aliens on a battleship. If it’s a high stake thriller and Neeson is involved, then the bar is raised. In his latest movie The Ice Road, Liam Neeson will have to battle the elements, win a race against time, and I’ve got to ask, could the movie’s trailer be hinting at sabotage on top of it all?

The miners are trapped underground and are running out of air, Neeson’s character Mike is recruited along with many others to save them in under 30 hours, but the Earth’s elements are not on their side.
They battle with a gigantic snowstorm and melting waters as they hurry to cover 300 miles of ice in order to rescue miners with only 30 hours of air to survive on. Laurence Fishburne as Goldenrod is part of the crew, and she’s got a brother down in the mine.

“This is personal, now I’m angry,” Mike says as he rearranges his remaining crew to continue with the rescue mission when they find out that the weather is not all they are battling.

“After a remote diamond mine collapses in far northern Canada, a ‘big-rig’ ice road driver (Neeson) must lead an impossible rescue mission over a frozen ocean to save the trapped miners. Contending with thawing waters and a massive storm, they discover the real threat is one they never saw coming,” the movie’s official synopsis reads.

Neeson Reveals His Plan To Go Into Retirement

Liam Neeson has been a face that’s become familiar in big blockbuster action-thriller films, from his famous Taken-era days to recent projects like Honest Thief and The Maskman, with a few upcoming ones as well.

But Liam Neeson isn’t sure how much longer he can go on, and as much as he loves action-packed movies, he believes that he’s almost at the very end of his acting career. In an interview with Entertainment Tonight in January, he revealed his intentions to move on from acting sometime in the near future, citing age as a cause.

“I’m 68 and a half — 69 this year,” he told ET. “There’s a couple more I’m going to do this year — hopefully, COVID allowing us — there’s a couple in the pipeline and, then I think that will probably be it. Well, unless I’m on a Zimmer frame or something.”
