Vertical Limit

K2, a 28,250-foot mountain in Pakistan’s Karakoram Range, is the setting for this adrenaline-pumping action-adventure. It’s a race against time when a retired mountain climber (Chris O’Donnell) leads a rescue mission to save his estranged sister (Robin Tunney) and other members of her team who have become trapped on K2 after a deadly avalanche.

Martin Campbell, the celebrated director of The Mask of Zorro and GoldenEye, delivers high-voltage action and exhilarating suspense in a film that pits man against his own limitations and the awesome power of nature’s uncontrollable elements.
