Production

The 40-minute film is narrated by Liam Neeson and shot entirely in IMAX format. ''Hollywood Reporter'' called it "one of the best IMAX films ever." ^[1]
This film had been in production at Everest during the 1996 Everest Disaster, in which a group of mountain climbers were trapped by a blizzard near the summit. This film contains footage of these people, as IMAX crewmembers interrupt filming to aid the stricken climbers.
