Everest
On the morning of May 10, 1996, climbers (Jason Clarke, Josh Brolin) from two
expeditions start their final ascent toward the summit of Mount Everest, the
highest point on Earth. With little warning, a violent storm strikes the
mountain, engulfing the adventurers in one of the fiercest blizzards ever
encountered by man. Challenged by the harshest conditions imaginable, the teams
must endure blistering winds and freezing temperatures in an epic battle to
survive against nearly impossible odds.
2 Guns helmer Baltasar Kormakur directs Jake Gyllenhaal, Josh Brolin, Jason
Clarke, and John Hawkes in this adventure docudrama set in 1996, when a number
of simultaneous expeditions up Mount Everest resulted in the deaths of eight
climbers.
Critic Reviews:
- " Everest's uncanny realism is a big part of what keeps you in its icy
thrall. " – Max Weiss
- " For all the natural spectacle, the characters are what hold
one's attention. " – Ben Sachs
- " Everest is a slow burn of a movie but it's one that proves to be
worth it. " – David Bax
