Directed by Anthony Mandler and written by Andrew Pagana and Justin Thomas, the Surrounded stars Letitia Wright, Jamie Bell, and Jeffrey Donovan, with Brett Gelman and Michael K. Williams.
Five years after the Civil War, freedwoman and former Buffalo Soldier Moses “Mo” Washington travels west to lay claim to a gold mine. It’s the summation of years of toil for Mo and her community. It is a mean, dangerous world for an unaccompanied Black woman in 1870 America, so Mo travels into the deep frontier disguised as a man.
After a group of murderous thieves ambushes her stagecoach, Mo is forced to hold legendary outlaw Tommy Walsh captive while the remaining surviving passengers seek help.
A battle of wills blurs the line between captor and captive as they try to survive the harsh Western landscape.
