Send Help (2026)

What earned the score

• Empowered Survival Reversal

  On the island after the plane crash, Linda uses her survival skills from Outward Bound adventures and 'Survivor' to build shelters, fish, hunt wild boar, and tend to Bradley's severe leg injury while he remains laid up, dependent, and useless.

• Power Dynamic Flip

  The power dynamic reverses on the island as Linda transforms from a mousy office worker to a confident survivor who looks empowered and capable, while Bradley's narcissistic and entitled facade cracks into desperation when left alone.

• Abusive Past Empowerment

  Linda's backstory includes an abusive alcoholic husband who died in a drunk-driving accident after she deliberately enabled him, framing her past submissiveness in a negative light compared to her island empowerment.

Details

Two colleagues become stranded on a deserted island, the only survivors of a plane crash. On the island, they must overcome past grievances and work together to survive, but ultimately, it's a battle of wills and wits to make it out alive.
