The Alps
Available on request
In the thin air above Switzerland, on the sheer rock-and-ice wall known as the Eiger, an American climber is about to embark on the most perilous and meaningful ascent he has ever undertaken: an attempt to scale the legendary mountain that took his renowned father's life.
Against a backdrop of overwhelming natural beauty, THE ALPS is a true-life story of extraordinary courage. It's the intensely personal journey of a man who has every reason not to climb the deadly Eiger North Face, yet climb it he must" says Stephen Judson, director, co-writer and editor of THE ALPS.
Featuring some of the most spectacular giant-screen imagery yet seen, the film celebrates the unsurpassed beauty of the Alps and the indomitable spirit of the people who live there. Viewers will get an unprecedented view complete with a ride on the high-altitude Glacier Express train, stops in enchanting mountain villages, a bungee jump off Verzasca Dam and the rare chance to experience a triumphant ascent of the feared and revered Eiger North Face.
The emotional and exhilarating territory of THE ALPS is the latest film for giant screen cinemas from two-time Academy Award®-nominated producers MacGillivray Freeman Films.
