Rob Hall (Jason Clarke), a friendly and cautious New Zealand leader, is named "Adventure Consultants"; while Scott Fisher (Jake Gyllenhaal) is funny and funny, leading the "Crazy Mountains" climbing team from Seattle. They compete with each other and help each other. The warriors in the two teams come from all walks of life, including postmen, reporters, doctors, and a professional woman from Japan. These climbers seem ordinary, but each of them has a dream of their own, which inspires them to go to Mount Everest, which is above 8,000 meters above sea level and with thin oxygen. During the climb, their physical functions declined rapidly. While dealing with physical exhaustion, hypoxia, and snow blindness, they unfortunately encountered a severe blizzard, so their lives were hanging by a thread. The film is adapted from a real expedition experience in 1996.
