Movies that feel like The Weight (2026)
When Samuel is torn from his daughter and sent to a brutal prison, Warden Clancy offers him a high-stakes proposition: smuggle gold out of a remote mine with a dangerous crew of prisoners and he’ll win his freedom.
If you loved The Weight, the closest films we have are Hyena (2015), The Silence (2010) and Neighboring Sounds (2012). All three share The Weight's contemplative and tense feel, which is what we rank on before quality.
Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Across 110th Street (1972).
