Mackenzie Foy Talks ‘The Isolate Thief’: “Film Is My Passion, But A Horse Is My Peace”

Actress Mackenzie Foy stars in The Isolate Thief, a first rate Western that is now playing in theaters. As evidenced from 2020’s Black Beauty, Foy has a natural bond with horses, and that passion must have made this film an obvious movie choice. Foy talked to Deepest Dream about what made working on The Isolate Thief “so much fun.”

Set during the Civil War, The Isolate Thief centers on a young woman (Mackenzie Foy) who is the sole caretaker of a remote Union Army outpost. Upon the discovery of stolen gold, she hides that treasure from several outlaws (led by Sean Bean). Odeya Rush co-stars as a woman who has her own connection with these cutthroats, and together maybe these women can survive this deadly ordeal. Rounding out the ensemble are Jack Kesy, Ty Simpkins, Martin Sensmeier and Joe Pantoliano.

“There is definitely a lot of stunts in (The Isolate Thief), especially for me,” said Foy. “It’s the most I’ve ever done. I really enjoyed it. But it was very cold. We were in Arkansas and so I’m just outside laying on the ground covered in blood. But it was so much fun – lots of firss for me and I think that was also the appeal of (the movie). So that’s always fun to explore new things.”

Mackenzie Foy does ride a horse in The Isolate Thief, so this experience was the best of both worlds for the actress. “I’ve always loved horses,” said Foy. “I now have horses of my own, and that’s something that i’ve started in the adult portion of my life. I think that film is my passion but (a) horse is my peace. And they they overlap, of course I love it, because how could you not? Any day there’s an animal on set, it’s a lovely day. You can’t be upset when there’s a dog or a horse involved.”
