Whittier is a small town in Alaska where almost the entire town lives in one building, Begich Towers.

The only way in and out of town is the Anton Anderson Memorial Tunnel, a one lane tunnel shared between cars and trains

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insomnia_(2002_film)
Insomnia was a Christopher Nolan film set in Alaska. It was based on the [superior imho] Swedish version with the same name.
A detective has to deal with a serial killer, in a world where the sun never goes down.
looked up the town and damn i think there's easily one boat for everyone there.
Honestly any horror movie or thriller would be great set there. Whittier also has an extensive Cold War history, so you could do weird MKUltra shit in the military building and have people try to escape the town. The scene in my head is a patient in a hospital gown running down the tunnel being pursued by MPs when the train comes.
oh yeah that is good stuff!
i see psychological thriller about a whole town huddled in the endless dark of artic winter in a commie block getting increasingly paranoid of each other. hallucinogens in the tap water? or nothing at all?
