The movie drew inspiration from the incredible events surrounding an attempt to reach Mount Everest. There were two different expeditions that challenged the mountaineers beyond their limits when they fell in one of the fiercest snowstorms ever encountered by mankind.
The movie was shot in the locales of Nepal, Rome and UK.
The movie focuses on the challenges faced by two groups – one was led by Scott Fischer (played by Gyllenhaal), and the other by Rob Hall (played by Clarke).
