Ethan Hawke Leads Convicts on Gold Trek in Depression Thriller The Weight
Ethan Hawke
— Sep 14, 2026

Production notes highlight the film’s demanding physical shoots, the Pacific Northwest-influenced setting (with Germany standing in for Oregon) and a teddy-bear motif that the director says anchors the characters’ desperation, including real details like what was inside the gold packs and a change from heavy weights to toilet paper in the prop gold.
