What are you running from?
He was polite at first. Helpful, even. She almost let herself believe it.
Alone is John Hyams' lean, uncomfortable survival thriller about a recently widowed woman named Jessica who is driving cross-country to start over when she realizes the same man keeps appearing on the road behind her. What begins as creeping unease becomes something much worse. Jules Willcox anchors the film with a performance of genuine, physical desperation — and Hyams shoots the Pacific Northwest wilderness as both refuge and trap.

Overall
Jessica is recently widowed and relocating, driving alone through the Pacific Northwest with everything she owns. A man in a truck appears near her on the highway — polite when their paths cross at a gas station, friendly when he shows up again. Too many coincidences. She dismisses her instincts. He keeps appearing.
The situation escalates. He abducts her and brings her to a remote cabin. Evidence inside suggests she is not his first captive. Jessica escapes into the forest before he can fully consolidate his control over her.
She runs. He pursues. The film narrows to the two of them in dense Pacific Northwest wilderness — she is hurt and underprepared, he is patient and knows the terrain. Jessica has to keep moving, use what the forest offers, and suppress the panic that would get her killed.
She encounters a man named Robert — a solo camper — who becomes an uneasy ally. They attempt to navigate toward safety together. The Man finds them.
Robert is killed. Jessica, now alone again, faces her pursuer directly. She kills him. The film ends with her in the wilderness, surviving, the threat over, the cost of getting there written on everything about her.
