Liam Neeson narrates director Anthony Geffen's documentary exploring the mystery of famed British adventurer George Mallory, who -- along with fellow climber Sandy Irvine -- perished while attempting to reach the summit of Mount Everest back in 1924. Eight years after discovering Mallory's preserved body in one of the most treacherous areas of the mountain, American climber Conrad Anker teams with British mountaineer Leo Houlding to retrace Mallory's footsteps on the North East Ridge Route, free climbing in areas of the mountain that have since been outfitted with ladders despite the risk of injury or death. Alan Rickman, Hugh Dancy, and Ralph Fiennes provide additional narration. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

    As one who has followed climbing, this documentary, evaluating the likely success of George Mallory at being the first to reach the summit of Everest, was interesting. Watching Conrad Anker and Leo Houlding try to replicate the climb, using period clothing, and attacking the Hillary Step without the fixed ladder, helped establish the scale of Mallory's challenge.

    A great Documentary. Very impressed with the real live footage of George Mallory's treacherous "dream" of climbing Mt. Everest. Then to have the American climber, Conrad Anker and Leo Houlding to retrace Mallory's journey was incredible. Also, the narration's added to the touch! I love those actor's. Thumb's up for this movie.
