Storyline
A young man from the suburbs with no mountaineering experience decides to climb Mt Everest to show a woman he’d do anything for her. Though technically based on the true story of Nadir Dendoune, this is only in a very loose sense. Indeed, the main character’s name, age, ethnicity, relations and entire motivation for wanting to climb to the top of Mount Everest were changed for the film.

“Any time anyone makes a comic book into a movie, in some way, I think they have to kill the comic book.”
