Unbridled ambition, a ferocious storm, and the limits of human endurance collide at the top of the world in the adventure-drama film Everest.
Jake Gyllenhaal challenges Everest
Inspired by the incredible events surrounding an attempt to reach the summit of the world’s highest mountain, Everest documents the awe-inspiring journey of two different expeditions challenged beyond their limits by one of the fiercest snowstorms ever encountered by mankind. Their mettle tested by the harshest elements found on the planet, the climbers will face nearly impossible obstacles as a lifelong obsession becomes a breathtaking struggle for survival.
Directed by Baltasar Kormákur, the film’s sprawling cast includes Jake Gyllenhaal (Southpaw), Keira Knightley (The Imitation Game), Jason Clarke (Zero Dark Thirty), Josh Brolin (Labor Day), Robin Wright (TV’s House of Cards), Sam Worthington (Man on a Ledge) and Emily Watson (The Theory of Everything).
Well-received by the critics—it garnered a 72% positive at Rotten Tomatoes based on 189 published review—Everest proved to be lackluster at the domestic box office, where it rang up only $44 million in wide release to theaters in September, 2015.
