Inspired by Rudyard Kipling’s tale, “The Strange Ride of Morrowbie Jukes,” the film “Scape” is set in the early 19th century along the Oregon Trail. During an attack by Native Americans, Morrowbie becomes separated from his wife. As he traverses the vast wilderness in search of her, he stumbles upon an isolated settlement in the woods, inhabited by those deemed mentally unwell. Once inside, leaving is not an option, as a mysterious and intimidating army soldier stands guard at the boundary, preventing any escape. With his wife’s fate uncertain, Morrowbie faces the daunting challenge of breaking free.
