Inspired
by the incredible events surrounding an attempt to reach the summit of the
world’s highest mountain, Everest
documents the awe-inspiring journey of two different expeditions challenged
beyond their limits by one of the fiercest snowstorms ever encountered by
mankind. Their mettle tested by the harshest elements found on the
planet, the climbers will face nearly impossible obstacles as a lifelong
obsession becomes a breathtaking struggle for survival. The epic adventure
stars Jason Clarke, Josh Brolin, John Hawkes, Robin Wright, Michael Kelly, Sam
Worthington, Keira Knightley, Emily Watson and Jake Gyllenhaal.
Everest is directed by Baltasar
Kormákur (2 Guns, Contraband) and produced by Working Title
