An international team of climbers ascends Mt. Everest in the spring of 1996. The film depicts their lengthy preparations for the climb, their trek to the summit, and their successful return to Base Camp. It also shows many of the challenges the group faced, including avalanches, lack of oxygen, treacherous ice walls, and a deadly blizzard. Written by Eric Sorensen
IMAX films are designed for screens over three stories tall. So, if you want to see this film, do not watch it on video, watch it in an IMAX theater. I saw Everest on a television, and it was painful to watch. The music was scored to give the audience a sense of the greatness of Everest, but when the screen is so small, it almost seems silly. Also, remember that this film is targeted at all age groups, so do not expect to learn much about climbing.
