Desierto follows a lone man crossing a sun-baked border desert who is hunted by a silent, relentless shooter after a chance incident diverts his route. With dwindling water, scorching heat, and the constant threat of pursuit, he must improvise and endure to outpace his pursuer and reach safety. Jonás Cuarón delivers a lean, taut survival thriller that probes fear, resilience, and the moral costs of human conflict in a brutal, unforgiving landscape.
