The Ice Road 2 First Trailer | Liam Neeson

In The Ice Road 2 (2026), Liam Neeson returns as Mike McCann, the veteran ice road trucker with a heart of gold. This time, Mike comes out of retirement for a critical mission: transport life-saving medical supplies across a rapidly melting Arctic ice road to a remote research station battling a deadly virus.

Together with a new crew, including a resourceful mechanic, Kara (a rising star) and Dr. Elena Vasquez (a determined scientist played by a strong female lead), Mike faces not only the dangers of the treacherous ice, but also a group of shadowy mercenaries hired to sabotage the mission.

As the convoy navigates cracked ice, whiteout storms and collapsing glaciers, tensions rise within the team. Kara, a former soldier with a tragic past, clashes with Mike’s cautious approach, while Dr. Vasquez reveals ulterior motives tied to the research station. The group discovers that the mercenaries, led by the ruthless Viktor (a menacing new villain), are working for a powerful corporation attempting to suppress the outbreak to protect its profits.

The climax unfolds in a thrilling chase across a disintegrating sheet of ice, with Mike’s rig dangling over a crevasse. In a heroic sacrifice, Mike uses his truck to bridge the gap, allowing Kara and Dr. Vasquez to deliver the supplies. The film ends with Mike surviving against all odds, driving away into the frozen wilderness, suggesting future adventures. The final shot shows the research station saved, with Kara wearing Mike’s iconic jacket, signaling a passing of the torch.
