Plot
It is 1985 in the stormy pervian Andes mountains and Joe Simpson can see no way out. Teetering on the brink of death, Simpson has fallen down an ice cliff and injured his leg. His friend, Simon Yates, also finds himself in an impossible situation. Stuck on the edge of a windy and icy cliff, he cannot pull Simpson back up using the rope, meaning he is faced with an unbearably difficult dilemma.
