Summit, The

About the movie

Although K2 is only the second-highest peak in the world, it is renowned as the most dangerous and revered by mountaineers as their ultimate challenge. In August 2008, 18 of 24 climbers reached the summit of K2. Forty-eight hours later, 11 people were dead. What happened on that fateful day has never been resolved.
Utilizing found footage, interviews with survivors, and seamlessly realistic reenactments, The Summit zigzags back and forth in time, interweaving multiple narrative threads and piecing together events, hoping to solve the mystery of what actually happened on that day—the deadliest in mountain-climbing history.
With the help of breathtaking cinematography by Robbie Ryan(Fish tank), Grand Jury Prize Nominee at the Sundance Film festival 2013, director Nick Ryan creates a tension-filled, experiential film that will have viewers on the edge of their seats.
