Everest is one of the most intense and atmospheric survival movies of the past few decades, following a group of expeditioners on their journey to reach the summit of the tallest mountain on planet Earth. It’s an extremely high-octane movie with plenty of powerful set pieces, but it’s also rooted in human drama that allows the audience to really connect deeply with these characters. There have been several movies about climbing Everest, but this certainly feels like one of the most authentic and impactful.
