The Edge (1997), directed by Lee Tamahori and written David Mamet, is a gripping survival thriller that pits human ingenuity and resilience against the unforgiving wilderness. Starring Anthony Hopkins and Alec Baldwin, the film explores themes of survival, trust, betrayal, and the primal instincts that emerge when life hangs by a thread.

The story begins with Charles Morse (Anthony Hopkins), a billionaire with a keen intellect and an insatiable curiosity, accompanying his younger wife, Mickey (Elle Macpherson), on a photoshoot trip to a remote Alaskan lodge. Alongside them is Robert Green (Alec Baldwin), a charming photographer.
