Everest is a 70mm American documentary film about the struggles
involved in climbing Mount Everest, the highest mountain peak on Earth
located in Himalayan region of Nepal. It was released to IMAX theaters
in 1998.

The 40-minute film is narrated by Liam Neeson and shot entirely in
IMAX format. It includes a vivid description of the training required
in order to climb, and the challenges encountered such as avalanches
and lack of oxygen. This film had been in production at Everest during
the 1996 Everest Disaster, in which a group of mountain climbers were
trapped by a blizzard near the summit. This film contains footage of
these people, as IMAX crew members interrupt filming to aid the
stricken climbers.

Reception
Everest grossed $87 million during its theatrical run in the US and
Canada, which is the second highest grossing amount ever for an IMAX
documentary. [1] It is the highest-grossing film that never reached
the top 10 in the weekly North American box office charts,[2] and also
is the highest-grossing film never to have made the weekly top 5.[3]
DVD & Soundtrack
The DVD was released by Miramax on December 12, 1999. It includes a
'Making Of' featurette, an extended interview with Beck Weathers,
deleted scenes, climber video journals, and a 3D map of Everest.
The soundtrack features music by George Harrison, interpreted by
composers Steve Wood and Daniel May, and was released on audio CD on
March 10, 1998.

Quotes
" Narrator: Just above the high camp, a climber named Beck Weathers
had been out in the snow for over 22 hours. He had been left for dead
by other climbers. Then, nearly blind, his hands literally frozen
solid, Beck stood up, left his pack... and desperately tried to walk.
Weathers: All I knew was, that as long as my legs would run, and I
could stand up... I was gonna move away from that camp. And if I fell
down, I was gonna get up. And if I fell down again, I was gonna get
up. And I was gonna keep moving, until I either hit that camp... or I
walked off the face of that mountain."
