Summary
Whiteout (2009) is an action thriller directed by Dominic Sena, based on a comic book. Set entirely in Antarctica's frozen tundra, the film follows Carrie Stetko, the sole U.S. Marshal assigned to the region. With her tour ending and retirement looming, she finds herself ensnared in a murder investigation as the first-ever winter storm approaches. Amidst the inhospitable environment, an aging physician, a nervous mission chief, and remnants of a downed Soviet plane add intrigue to the story. As Carrie races against time to solve the crime before the station shuts down for the long winter, the film explores themes of trust, redemption, and survival in extreme conditions.
