Gillian Anderson and Jason Isaacs Face an Impossible Journey in 2026’s Most Powerful Film [Exclusive]
The Salt Path, starring Gillian Anderson and Jason Isaacs, follows a married couple who lose their home and confront a terminal illness before walking 630 miles along the south-west coast of England. Based on Raynor and Moth Winn’s true story, the film centres on their attempt to find comfort, acceptance and resilience in nature and in each other, making it an intimate survival drama rather than a conventional road film.

Released in the UK in 2025, it reportedly received strong reviews and holds an 85% positive Rotten Tomatoes score; Rialto Distribution is due to release it in cinemas on 28 August 2026.
