The Colony is an action-packed, post-apocalyptic thriller set during the next ice-age: an outpost of colonists struggle to survive below the world's frozen surface. Forced underground, the survivors must fight to preserve humanity against a threat even more savage than nature: short on supplies and plagued by illness and internal conflict, the colonists suspect the worst when they mysteriously lose contact with their only other known settlement, Colony 5.
When Colony 7's leader Briggs (Laurence Fishburne) decides to lead an expedition to discover what happened, he is challenged by Mason (Bill Paxton), his former comrade-in-arms, who has his own ideas of what is best for the colonists. Briggs takes two volunteers on the mission, the young Graydon, and Sam (Kevin Zegers), a strong-willed mechanic who seizes the opportunity to confront the icy wasteland that orphaned him. When they reach their destination, the team discover a threat much worse than nature and must battle to save themselves and protect their fellow colonists in what might be humanity's last stand.
It is said that if you love the post-apocalyptic action genre you'll love this movie also.
