Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaWhen Rob Hall (Jason Clarke)'s team is asked why they are climbing Mount Everest, everyone answers "because it's there," a motto of mountain-climbers worldwide. In a 1924 interview, George Mallory, an English mountaineer who took part in the first three British expeditions to Mount Everest, responded with the same answer when asked why he would risk his life to become the first person to summit Everest. Mallory disappeared during a summit attempt in June 1924. His body was found in May 1999, just under 700 meters from the top.
- GoofsWhen the helicopter picks up Beck, the pilot is not wearing an oxygen mask. As he flew up from Kathmandu, Col. Madan KC was not acclimatized at all and had to be on oxygen continuously to survive at the 20,000 ft altitude at Camp I. Without it he would have passed out in minutes.

Featured review
I won't try climbing that mountain, that's for sure.
I am very surprised reading bad reviews about Everest. What did you expect it to be then? I sincerely did enjoy watching Everest. Also because it's based on a true story, what makes it even better to feel the despair they had at the end. It amazes me people would pay so much money to live an experience like that, where your life is at risk all the time. Okay it's a great achievement once you've done it, but I'd rather spend that money on a lazy sunny vacation trip. The fact is the top of the Everest is a graveyard with bodies of people that tried this expedition. The movie shows perfectly how hard it must be to climb the Everest. The lack of oxygen, the altitude, the sudden change of weather, it's all too much for a normal human body. The movie itself is beautifully shot, with good actors, a lot of tragedy. I didn't get bored for one second watching this movie. It keeps you on edge the whole time, because you can feel the courage and determination it takes to climb that mountain. Good movie if you ask me. Would watch it again in the future.
