On the infamous peak K2, a climbing expedition gets trapped in a cavern after an avalanche. A rescue is mounted to help save them. Thank God for nitroglycerin!
From the get-go this is one very silly movie. Even the goofs section seems to suggests that not even the film makers knew what they heck they were doing as apparently everything about K2 and mountaineering is wrong. That doesn't really limit the audience too much, though it probably made some people cringe or laugh out loud.
"Logic" aside this is actually a pretty fun movie. There are good tense moments of peril along with some cool stunts and action, which is really all a movie like this needs. Don't ask me why one can of nitroglycerin can make a huge fireball hundreds of feet high, while a whole storage shed barely damages a mountain side upon destruction. Don't ask me why this movie was even made let alone funded. Just sit back for two hours and enjoy, but be sure not to think too hard. 6/10
Rated PG-13 for intense scenes of action/peril
