Plot: After a tragedy during a climbing expedition, Peter Garrett abandons mountaineering. Years later, when his sister becomes trapped on K2, he assembles a rescue team and must return to the mountains.

Marcela Notes: Hardest cold open ever omg its so silly intense and over the top it makes me laugh but also squirm but also cheer a little with excitement even though its definitely upsetting? I'll talk about it with my therapist. It's so stupid and I fucking love it! 

Fun Fact: K2 is actually in Pakistan, but Mount Cook in New Zealand was used as the backdrop for every K2 sequence in the movie.
