In 1845, a group of settlers journeys along the Oregon Trail, guided by the boastful but unreliable Stephen Meek. As they venture deeper into the wilderness, they become lost and face dwindling supplies.
Tensions mount as the settlers question Meekโs leadership and motives. When they encounter a Native American man, the group must decide whether to trust him or remain loyal to Meek.

Directed by Kelly Reichardt, the film focuses on survival, trust, and cultural tensions. Its quiet, atmospheric storytelling immerses viewers in the settlersโ struggles.
With standout performances by Michelle Williams and Bruce Greenwood, Meekโs Cutoff is a gripping, thought-provoking take on the Western genre.
