垂直极限

在一次登山运动中，彼得的父亲为了让他成功获救，毅然选择割断绳索，坠崖身亡。由于内心的痛苦阴影，彼得（克里斯·奥唐纳饰）放弃了登山事业，并由此与同是登山运动员的妹妹不欢而散。 　　妹妹在有一次挑战喜马拉雅山脉西麓高耸入云的K2峰时遇险，全队困在高峰上的岩洞里。由于食物与药物的紧缺，他们的生命岌岌可危。为了营救妹妹，彼得不惜生命危险，再次登上喜马拉雅山，展开与时间的竞赛和对自然极限的挑战。A high-adrenaline tale of young climber Peter Garrett, who must launch a treacherous and extraordinary rescue effort up K2, the world's second highest peak. Confronting both his own limitations and the awesome power of nature's uncontrollable elements, Peter risks his life to save his sister, Annie, and her summit team in a race against time. The team is trapped in an icy grave at 26,000 feet - a death zone above the vertical limit of endurance where the human body cannot survive for long. Every second counts as Peter enlists the help of a crew of fellow climbers, including eccentric, reclusive mountain man Montgomery Wick, to ascend the chilling might of the world's most feared peak to save her.
