Vertical Limit (2000, U.S.A.)

K2, a mountain in Pakistan’s Karakoram Range, is the setting for this adrenaline-pumping adventure. It’s a race against time when a retired mountain climber leads a mission to save a team trapped on K2 after a deadly avalanche.  His long long sister is one of the team members, so it’s personal.

Director Martin Campbell delivers high-voltage action and exhilarating suspense.  It’s a film that pits man against his own limitations and the awesome power of nature’s uncontrollable elements.
