Everest
To capitalize off of inexperienced climbers, Nepal should really open a funeral parlor on the side of Everest.
Case in point, the imperiled alpinists in this fact based thriller.
When competing commercial climbing companies descend on the legendary summit in the spring of 1996, team leaders Rob Hall (Jason Clarke), Scott Fischer (Jake Gyllenhaal) and their cliental (Josh Brolin, Sam Worthington, John Hawkes) are not prepared for the storm that strands them on the slope, sans oxygen.
Meanwhile, the wives of the marooned mountaineers (Robin Wright, Keira Knightley) await word of their rescue, expecting the worst.
While it's hard to empathize with the willing participants and their death wishes, you can't help but feel for their families, or deny the white-knuckle action or edge-of-your-seat excitement emanating from this ill-fated expedition.
On the bright side, at least the Yeti population now has a surplus of frozen meals for the week.
