"The Gorge" is a 2025 American science fiction romantic action film directed by Scott Derrickson and written by Zach Dean. The film stars Miles Teller as Levi Kane and Anya Taylor-Joy as Drasa, two elite operatives assigned to guard opposite sides of a mysterious gorge. Despite their separation, they develop a bond while confronting the enigmatic threats lurking within the gorge.

The narrative blends elements of romance, action, and science fiction, focusing on the characters' evolving relationship amidst perilous circumstances. Their duty to protect the world from an undisclosed, mysterious evil within the gorge forms the crux of the plot.

Upon its release on February 14, 2025, "The Gorge" garnered mixed reviews. Glenn Kenny of The New York Times praised the film, stating that it "takes an already implausible premise and then catapults it out of the espionage genre and into science-fiction and horror." He highlighted the performances of Taylor-Joy and Teller, noting they "commendably take their material seriously no matter how seriously ridiculous it gets."

Conversely, Jack Coyle of the Associated Press offered a more critical perspective, describing the film as "preposterous" and arguing that the tonal shifts between action and romance were not effectively executed. He referred to it as an "intriguing but empty genre mash-up and streaming-only exercise."

Despite the mixed critical reception, "The Gorge" achieved significant commercial success, becoming Apple TV+'s biggest movie launch to date, surpassing previous records held by films like "Wolfs."

For viewers interested in a genre-blending narrative that intertwines romance, action, and science fiction, "The Gorge" is available for streaming on Apple TV+.
