Thriller movies usually have enough tension to keep you hooked, but when they’re based on a true story, the experience becomes a much more anxiety-inducing watch. That’s the case with “Everest,” a 2015 survival thriller that plunges you into the deadly ascent of the famous mountain, which has just landed on Netflix. Most people probably know about this iconic peak, but for those who don’t, it’s the highest mountain in the world, with its summit reaching 29,031.7 feet above sea level.
Everest is a magnet for mountaineers from around the world, both highly experienced climbers and guided expeditions, yet it remains extremely dangerous. The film essentially captures this, depicting the true events of the 1996 Mount Everest disaster and following the real-life experiences of climbers during two commercial expeditions that attempted the summit that May.
