To call the premise for Gravity writer Jonás Cuarón‘s new thriller Desierto “current” is an understatement. “Ripped from the headlines” would be more accurate, as a trailer for the film’s Mexican release featuring some anti-immigration statements from a certain extra-crispy presidential candidate would attest. The film follows a group of immigrants crossing the U.S./Mexico border whose already-brutal journey through the desert turns lethal after they’re targeted by a vigilante determined to take border security into his own hands.
