K2

It is called 'The Savage Mountain." Many have perished trying to reach its ice-torn summit. Now K2 waits to claim the lives of two Americans whose only hope lies in the tenuous ties of their own friendship. Attorney Taylor Brooks (Michael Biehn, The Terminator, Rampage) and physics professor Harold Jamison (Matt Craven, Indian Summer, Crimson Tide) are unlikely friends bound by the same, all-consuming dream: to climb K2. Their opportunity comes when they meet a legendary mountaineer who is assembling an international team for a K2 expedition. Soon they are headed for northern Pakistan and the most perilous mountain in the world, unaware that their survival rests on the one thing they can''''t depend on'their loyalty to each other. Featuring some of the most spectacular mountain-climbing footage ever captured on film, director Franc Roddam''''s (Quadrophenia, The Lords of Discipline) death-defying motion picture goes to the absolute limits of human adventure.
