Synopsis

In 1936, the Nazi party was fervently demonstrating its superiority to the rest of the world. Turning its attention toward the "unclimbable" North Face of the Eiger, German officials commissioned two competing teams to conquer the treacherous rock wall. The ascent goes smoothly at first, but an accident brings the teams together, forcing them to battle the elements as one in an exhilarating race against time.
