Here is the synopsis for “The Summit”:

Directed by Nick Ryan and written by Mark Monroe (“Chasing Ice,” “The Cove”), “The Summit” chronicles the deadliest day in modern mountain-climbing history.

K2, which is commonly known as Savage Mountain, is an extension of the northwestern Himalayan Mountain range and is located in the remote region between Pakistan and China. With an unprecedented fatality rate of one in four climbers, it has rightfully earned the title of the second most murderous mountain.

But with any high-risk sport comes the love of the challenge. In Aug. 2008, 22 climbers from several international expeditions converged on High Camp of K2, which is the last stop before the summit. Forty-eight hours later, 11 had been killed or simply vanished into thin air. Like a horror movie come to life, it was as if the mountain began stealing lives one climber at a time. “The Summit” is a seamless pastiche of the climbers’ firsthand footage, after-the-fact interviews and reenactments.

It plays like an engaging narrative film as it focuses on the mystery behind one extraordinary man, Ger McDonnell, who was left behind in the death zone as his best friend searched in vain to find him. As the legend surrounding McDonnell and the 10 others grows, fearless new climbers are drawn to test themselves against the deadliest mountain on Earth.

“The Summit” premiered at the 2013 London Film Festival and was also featured at the Sundance Film Festival where it won the Best Editing Award. Sundance Selects will release the film theatrically on Oct. 4, 2013 in Los Angeles and New York with a national roll-out to follow.
