A high-adrenaline tale of young climber Peter Garrett, who must launch a treacherous and extraordinary rescue effort up K2, the world's second highest peak. Confronting both his own limitations and the awesome power of nature's uncontrollable elements, Peter risks his life to save his sister, Annie, and her summit team in a race against time. The team is trapped in an icy grave at 26,000 feet - a death zone above the vertical limit of endurance where the human body cannot survive for long. Every second counts as Peter enlists the help of a crew of fellow climbers, including eccentric, reclusive mountain man Montgomery Wick, to ascend the chilling might of the world's most feared peak to save her.

Review :
Do climbers really decide who to sacrifice like this?
Okay, this is a pretty bad movie, as most of the comments here will indicate. But, there is one thing I was left wondering about: do climbers who are hanging on an overloaded support system routinely cut some of the group loose to fall and die in order to maybe save the rest? This plot device gets used twice in this movie. Interestingly enough, it seems to be the first course of action people think of. We'll try to swing around a bit, but then just cut that old load, sorry Dad, and we're all okay. But, at the same time it's considered evil to withhold a limited lifesaving miracle drug from the seriously injured member of a group who is not likely to survive anyway, (having "expendible cast member" tattooed across his forehead).
Didn't this film have to have someone who actually climbed to create the action sequences? Didn't they every complain about the stupidities? Heck, I'm not a climber at all, but I've seen enough National Geographic to recognize many of the stupidities in this film.
