: Against the stark, unforgiving backdrop of K2, this survival thriller isn’t about conquering the mountain, but the desperate, against-all-odds race to reclaim lives. A brother, haunted by a shared past trauma on peaks, leads a privately-funded, increasingly reckless rescue mission to save his sister and her team trapped in a crevasse near the summit. The film distinguishes itself through a relentless escalation of danger, prioritizing claustrophobic tension and the psychological toll of extreme conditions over idealized mountaineering narratives. It's a harrowing portrayal of familial loyalty strained to the breaking point, marked by race-against-time urgency and flawed decisions driven by grief – and the shocking, improvised solutions they implement in the face of certain death.
