About this movie

Based on a true story, North Face is a suspenseful adventure film about a competition to climb the most dangerous rock face in the Alps. Set in 1936, as Nazi propaganda urges the nation's Alpinists to conquer the unclimbed north face of the Swiss massif — the Eiger — two reluctant German climbers begin their daring ascent.

This was a great film, and I was riveted the whole way through. If you don't mind subtitles( or if you speak German) then this one is definitely worth the watch.

A gorgeous, and realistically shot film about mountaineering, the politics and celebrity of sport and the demands of honor. The ordeal of these two sets of climbers scaling the treacherous Nordwand is harrowing to behold.

Even though the trailer had english in it, the movie is in German and has english subtitles. Google should have a warning on movies that aren't in english
