Someone sets up a few hundred cameras and a gang of hammy actors trample in.
Chris O'Donnell and Robin Tunney play Peter and Annie Garrett whose father died after a freak accident while rock climbing. This happened just three years earlier after the brother and sister found themselves in a spot of trouble high on a mountain. They were cut free by their father who sacrificed himself to save his children. Director Martin Campbell, of Goldeneye fame, then takes us back to the present day when Peter has become a nature photographer and is tracking snow leopards in the Himalayas. But disaster, which you of course know is coming from the moment you sit in your seat, strikes when an avalanche tries to force this obnoxious bunch off the mountain.
