Adapted from the international best-seller by Joe Simpson, the film uses first person on-camera accounts of the heart-stopping adventure of Simpson and his fellow climber, Simon Yates told against a backdrop of spectacular mountain footage which bring home the awesome and harrowing aspects of their feat.
An astonishing journey… absolutely incredible. – Jeffrey Lyons, NBC-TV
