Everest - Trailer

Your browser doesn't support HTML5 video.

When two different climbing parties set out on the expedition of their lives, they knew there would be dangers; however, no-one could prepare them for the tragedy that was in store. Reaching the summit of Mount Everest in Nepal is every passionate climbers dream, but this isn't a trip to take lightly. Such altitudes and temperatures are not meant to be experienced by human beings as frostbite and altitude sickness are almost inevitable perils, not to mention falling, strong winds and, of course, avalanches. As fate would have it, these climbers are about to run into one of the worst snowstorms ever documented as an earthquake hits the nation and mother nature has no mercy. Victory turns to catastrophe in an event that will change the lives of the survivors.

'Everest' is based on the horrific events of 1996, when a group of climbers found themselves trapped on the mountain with little oxygen as they attempted to survive the worst snowstorm in human history. The movie has been directed by Baltasar Kormákur ('Contraband', '2 Guns', '101 Reykjavík') and written by William Nicholson ('Unbroken', 'Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom', 'Les Misérables') and Academy Award winner Simon Beaufoy ('The Hunger Games: Catching Fire', '127 Hours', 'Slumdog Millionaire'). It will be released in the UK on September 18th 2015.
