Annie is an experienced, and famous, climber. She has taken her team of climbers for an expedition up K2. The team consist of the millionaire Elliot Vaughn (Bill Paxton) and one of the most trusted guides around, Tom McLaren (Nicholas Lea).

Martin Campbell, the celebrated director of "The Mask of Zorro" and "Golden Eye", delivers high-voltage action and exhilarating suspense in a film that pits man against his own limitations and awesome power of nature's uncontrollable elements.
