The Gorge (2025) is a high-intensity romantic action thriller directed by Scott Derrickson, blending survival drama, explosive action, and a heartfelt love story. The film centers on Drasa (Anya Taylor-Joy) and Levi (Miles Teller), two highly trained operatives who meet under extreme circumstances. Both scarred by the past and driven by dangerous missions, they find themselves working together in a remote gorge where threats lurk at every turn.
When their mission goes wrong, the pair must fight their way through relentless waves of mercenaries and terrifying humanoid creatures. One of the film’s most breathtaking sequences shows them battling on a Jeep being winched up a near-vertical cliff, struggling to survive against monstrous attackers while hanging hundreds of feet above the ground. This scene captures the movie’s signature mix of practical stunts and minimal CGI, pushing physical tension and realism to the forefront.
Beyond the spectacle, the film explores themes of trust, love, and redemption. Drasa and Levi’s relationship grows deeper as they fight side by side, revealing vulnerability beneath their hardened exteriors. The Gorge ultimately delivers both edge-of-your-seat action and an emotionally resonant tale of two lost souls finding connection in the midst of chaos.
