Inspired by the incredible events surrounding an attempt to reach the summit of the world's highest mountain, Everest documents the awe-inspiring journey of two different expeditions challenged beyond their limits by one of the fiercest snowstorms ever encountered by mankind. Starring Jake Gyllenhaal, Keira Knightley, Josh Brolin and Jason Clark, the climbers will face nearly impossible obstacles as their courage is tested by the harshest elements found on the planet and a lifelong obsession becomes a breathtaking struggle for survival. Critics call Everest "...exciting, thrilling, moving and completely engaging." - Scott Mendleson, Forbes
