Ryan Phillippe's New Thriller: Father-Daughter Bond Under Fire

Ryan Phillippe portrays Danny, a retired army veteran, in the new two-part action thriller, 'One Mile.' He embarks on a cross-country trip with his estranged daughter, Alex, to visit colleges.

The premise for the films originated when a producer's daughter suggested a hypothetical scenario involving being stranded and abducted. This idea resonated with Phillippe due to his own experiences as a father.

Their journey becomes perilous when a detour leads them to camp in a forest and they are attacked. Danny must use his extensive military training to protect Alex.

Phillippe found the role compelling due to the father-daughter dynamic, mirroring his own relationships. He emphasized the importance of Alex not being a mere damsel in distress, but an active participant in her own rescue.

Filming in Vancouver presented significant challenges, with daily rain and muddy conditions impacting both cast and crew. Despite the difficulties, Phillippe fully committed to the demanding physical and tactical aspects of the role.
