What sets it apart
May contain story progression spoilers
The 2,000-foot television tower dominates the imagery, turning height, empty air, and unstable footholds into continuous threats.
Becky and Hunter remain stranded at the top of an isolated tower, with dehydration and failed escape attempts driving the action.
Free climbing and adrenaline-seeking are presented as choices that expose the friends to lethal physical risk.
The stranded climbers are repeatedly contrasted with the desert and vast empty surroundings far below.
