Plot Synopsis
Based on the Best-Selling novel by Joe Simpson.
In 1985, Simpson and his friend Simon Yates, two young and ambitious mountaineers successfully scaled the unclimbed west face of Siula Grande in the Peruvian Andes, a remote and treacherous 21,000ft peak. Starting their descent through a blizzard, disaster struck when Simpson fell, shattering his leg. An heroic battle for survival unfolded in which both men were faced with life or death decisions, which would test them to the limit.
