Whiteout (French: Whiteout: Enfer blanc)[5] is a 2009 crime thriller film based on the 1998 comic book of the same name by Greg Rucka and Steve Lieber. Directed by Dominic Sena and starring Kate Beckinsale, Gabriel Macht, Columbus Short and Tom Skerritt, the film was distributed by Warner Bros. and released on September 11, 2009.[6] It was produced under the banner of Dark Castle Entertainment by Joel Silver, Susan Downey and David Gambino.

The film is set in Antarctica, where Deputy U.S. Marshal Carrie Stetko (Kate Beckinsale) is planning to leave in a few days. After finding a dead body, Stetko is attacked by a masked killer who is trying to get ahold of the cargo in an old Soviet plane that crash-landed in the ice during the Cold War.
