An adventure drama, based on a true story, about a competition to climb the most dangerous rock face in the Alps, the north face of the Eiger. Set in 1936, Nazi propaganda urges German alpinists to conquer the mountain, and two reluctant young climbers, Toni and Andi, attempt a daring ascent, closely followed by two Austrian climbers. All goes well at first, but then the climbers lose their advantage over the mountain and the race against time and forces of nature begins.
DVD ; anamorphic widescreen (2.35:1) presentation ; Dolby digital.
COMMUNITY REVIEWS
Classic submitted by pmysore on August 16, 2011, 11:28am Tragedy in such a Scenic setting. One of the best Mountaineering documentaries I have ever seen.
North Face submitted by SBNB on June 24, 2012, 2:59pm This is a great but tragic movie. It inspired an interest in mountain climbing movies for me.
North Face submitted by 0liviap0pp on July 14, 2013, 10:12am A tragic yet true story of one of the most famous climbing experiences.
it can't be 'famous' if I never heard of it. submitted by Tassos on April 13, 2022, 2:37pm Watching it now. Getting tired of all these 'nostalgia' films that try to recreate past times. The damned musical score was, as usual, very annoying. the whole movie was amateurish and poorly put together, and the acting was nothing to write home about either.
