The Stolen
Alice Eve (Star Trek: Into Darkness) is a widow searching for her kidnapped son in this Western set in 1860 New Zealand. Co-stars Stan Walker (Mt Zion) & Graham McTavish (Dwalin, The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies).
In a wild, untamed New Zealand at the beginning of the Gold Rush, Charlotte Lockton (Eve) joins a convoy of whores, ex-cons and a Maori warrior heading for the rough mining community of Gold Town. There she meets Joshua McCullen, the owner of the town, a man who is key to uncovering the truth behind the disappearance of her son, forcing her to fight to the death for what she holds most dear.
