About Everest

In the 2015 film Everest, director Baltasar Kormákur takes audiences on a harrowing journey to the top of the world's highest peak. Based on the true events of the 1996 Mount Everest disaster, the film follows two expeditions attempting to summit the mountain, only to be met with unexpected challenges and tragedy.

With a star-studded cast including Jason Clarke, Josh Brolin, and Jake Gyllenhaal, Everest delivers stunning visuals and heart-wrenching performances. The film's intense and realistic portrayal of the dangers of high-altitude climbing has been praised by critics and mountaineers alike.

However, some have criticized the film for its lack of depth in character development and for taking liberties with the true events of the disaster. Despite these criticisms, Everest remains a gripping and emotional journey that will leave audiences on the edge of their seats.
