Exploring Cinematic Moments of Intimacy That Crossed Boundaries

The most shocking love scene in The Mountain Between Us (2017) didn’t even make the final film at all! The romantic drama stars Idris Elba as neurosurgeon Ben and Kate Winslet as photojournalist Alex. The unlikely pair must brave a snowy mountain together after a plane crash.

The steamy deleted scene in question involves the two sleeping together in a cave. Nothing untoward happens until Elba’s character starts dreaming about making out with Winslet! It’s a bit scandalous because Winslet’s character is not only engaged, she was on the plane on the way to her wedding!
