Universal Pictures presents this dramatic disaster flick directed by Baltasar Kormakur. EVEREST documents the incredible events involved when several expeditions of climbers attempt to reach the summit of the tallest mountain in the world. From the get go it is easy to choose the characters to succeed and fail. Very harsh and challenging conditions must be encountered to fulfill lifelong obsessions. Fierce snowstorms to test the limits of climbers knowing they may not survive the trek to the top let alone live to tell about it. Fighting some of the harshest elements on earth combine with the competing relationships of desperate people. A breathtaking adventure that can leave you white knuckled.
A diverse cast that includes: Jason Clarke, Josh Brolin, Tom Goodman-Hill, Michael Kelly, Robin Wright, John Hawkes, Ang Phula Sherpa, Keira Knightley, Thomas M. Wright, Martin Henderson and Emily Watson.
