Read more about John Ottway at: Wikipedia Official Site: Open Road Films The Grey is a 2012 American adventure film directed by Joe Carnahan and starring Liam Neeson. It follows a number of men stranded in Alaska after a plane crash, who are forced to survive using little more than their wits as a pack of wolves stalk them. The film is based on the short story "Ghost Walker" by Ian MacKenzie Jeffers, who also co-wrote the screenplay with Carnahan. John Ottway (Liam Neeson) works in Alaska killing the wolves that threaten an oil drilling team. On his last day on the job, Ottway pens a letter to his wife Ana (Anne Openshaw) and plans to commit suicide. While holding his gun to his mouth, however, Ottway hears the howl of a wolf, which stops him. Upon the completion of the job, the team and Ottway embark on a plane headed for home during a blizzard. The plane cannot withstand the weather and it crashes in the middle of nowhere. Ottway sees a vision of his wife but then awakens and finds Todd Flannery (Joe Anderson) along with Talget (Dermot Mulroney), Diaz (Frank Grillo), Hendrick (Dallas Roberts), Burke (Nonso Anozie), Hernandez (Ben Bray) and Lewenden (James Badge Dale). Lewenden is mortally injured and Ottway knows he is going to die. He calms Lewenden, who eventually accepts his situation and dies peacefully. Ottway assumes leadership of the group and sets the survivors to task collecting material for a fire. While Ottway is searching for wood, he sees a woman in need of help, but soon finds her being eaten by a gray wolf who also attacks Ottway. He is quickly rescued by the others and explains that they are most likely standing in the wolves' territory and are unwelcome. After getting a fire started, the survivors take turns keeping watch. While urinating during watch, Hernandez is killed by a wolf. The remaining survivors find his body in the morning and Ottway suggests they leave the crash site because they are wide open to attack. Diaz questions Ottway's leadership and begins defying his orders. Before they leave, Ottway and the others remove the wallets from many of the bodies with the intent of eventually returning them to surviving family members.
