Feeling responsible for his father's death, Peter Garrett has quit the pursuit in favor of photography, while his sister, Annie, has become a top climber. But when Annie is trapped in K2, the world's second highest peak, Peter must risk his life to save his sister.
If you ever have the choice of being trapped, halfway up a mountain, or of watching this movie, than I advise you to don that parka and long underwear.
This is a movie that means to keep you involved and, preferably, gasping from start to finish . At that, it certainly does succeed.

Mediocre disaster flick.

An overblown and predictable melodrama.

This rockumentary leaves Vertical Limit and Cliffhanger in the powder snow. The men's versions of the events are fascinating, often amusing and blatantly honest.
Vertical Limit is about as silly as movies come, but the only thing that really counts is whether or not the action sequences are exciting. And they are, in a big way.
The pace of the movie rarely flags (neither does the idiocy, alas) and it's enough to warrant a marginal recommendation.

When the characters just shut up and dangle, Vertical Limit becomes one heck of a wild time.

Certainly a movie in which people are forced to test themselves in unpleasant situations. But the people I have in mind are the people in the audience.
