"Mick's Shortcut" is a western film from a female perspective, which was shortlisted for the main competition unit of the 2010 Venice Film Festival. It is the third work of independent female director Kelly Reichardt and has cast many powerful actors. The film is adapted based on real events and characters during the development of the American West. It is a western and a road movie. When people follow three families on their long journey across the Oregon Trail, the majestic, majestic, desolate and terrifying natural environment of the West is unobstructed in front of the camera.

The story takes place on the American continent in 1845, the early days of immigrants entering Oregon. A convoy of three families hired mountain man Stephen Meeker as their guide to cross the Cascade Mountains. Mick claimed that there was a shortcut, but led the convoy to a deserted no-man's land. In the days that followed, the migrants experienced water shortages, hunger, and a loss of confidence. At this time, a North American native passes there, and the immigrants must pin all their hopes on this person who has always been regarded as their enemy.
