Rating : *****
This movie is based on real life events that took place on August 1st, 2008, on a climb to the summit of the worlds second tallest mountain, K2, that left 11 of 25 international climbers dead. It combines real life footage from the day and dramatizations to really give the viewer a clear visual.
On August 1st, 2008, 25 international climbers had set out to climb K2, the worlds second tallest, and deadliest mountain. Although the weather was almost perfect, the climb slowly became deadlier. 18 of those climbers made it to the summit that day, but by the next day, 11 had died. The mystery behind their deaths are still a wonder, and this movie highlights their lasts moves made.
This experience was one of the biggest tragedies in mountain climbing history, and really shows that, no matter how prepared you think you may be, or how great the weather is, even if you are 100% prepared, things can go very, very wrong in a blink of an eye.
I would highly recommend this movie to anyone interested in either mountain climbing or mystery.
