Brother and sister Peter and Annie (O'Donnell and Tunney) witnessed a horrific climbing accident that killed their father and, in the aftermath, they both dealt with the death differently.

Peter isolated himself as a nature photographer, whereas Annie chased her father's dream to climb the world's highest peaks.

But Peter is forced to launch a treacherous rescue effort up K2, the world's second highest peak, in order to save his sister and her summit team (Paxton).

Peter must confront his fear and the awesome power of nature's uncontrollable elements, in a race against time.

Enlisting the help of a crew of fellow climbers, including eccentric, reclusive mountain man Montgomery Wick (Glenn), and a couple of wild Aussies, Peter sets out to ascend the world's most feared peak to save his sister.

Director Martin Campbell (GoldenEye), delivers high-voltage action, superb stunts and exhilarating suspense in this dramatic story.

An adrenaline-pumping, emotionally-charged action-adventure story, that will keep you on the edge-of-your seat.

This nail-biting movie culminates in a tense battle for survival motivated by family, grief and guilt.
