The Call Of The Snow is a 2025 American neo-Western action thriller film written, co-produced, and directed by Adam Wingard. Produced by Legendary Pictures and The Stone Quarry and distributed by Lionsgate Films, it is the first installment in the Western Snow trilogy. The film stars Sasha Calle, Patrick Wilson, Jessie Eisenberg, Ariana Greenblatt, Michael Shannon, Vincent D'Onofrio, Asher Angel, Demi Moore, Brooklynn Prince, Laurence Fishburne, Christoph Waltz, and Samuel L. Jackson. Set in modern day 2025, a young but experienced ex-military sniper teams up with two cowboys to rescue her daughter from a powerful crime family, though this becomes difficult when they are blamed for a horrific massacre and chased by a German gangster sent by the same crime family. The Call Of The Snow had its world premiere at the 82nd Venice International Film Festival on January 17th, 2025, and it opened in theaters on February 6th; it received universal acclaim and was praised for Wingard's direction, visuals, action sequences, and Calle, Wilson, and Eisenberg's performances, though the violent content and the film's usage of dehumanizing words drew controversy. The film grossed $1.869 billion, and it is now the highest-grossing Western film and the highest-grossing R-rated film of all time, overtaking Deadpool & Wolverine. Two sequels are in development with Calle, Wilson, Greenblatt, Waltz and Jackson set to reprise their roles in both.
