As darkness fell on May 10, 1996, a fast moving storm of unimaginable ferocity trapped three climbing teams high on the slopes of Mount Everest. The climbers, exhausted from their summit climb, were soon lost in darkness, in a fierce blizzard, far from the safety of High Camp at 26,000 feet. World-renowned climber and filmmaker David Breashears, who aided the rescue efforts back in 1996, now returns to Everest to tell the fuller story of what really happened on that legendary climb. Through remarkably intimate interviews with the climbers and Sherpas many who have never spoken before on American television Breashears sheds new light on the worst climbing tragedy in Mount Everest s history.

Montanha Polar Circus, 4 de maio de 1981. Três amigos que fazem alpinismo juntos, Laurie Skreslet (Eric Johnson), John Lauchlan (Jason Priestley) e Roger Marshall (John Pyper-Ferguson) fazem uma escalada rotineira e planejam, no próximo ano, tentarem o feito máximo de todo alpinista: chegar ao cume do Everest. Naquele dia John se contentava em escalar um outro trecho da Polar Circus, mas seus amigos estão sem tempo e os três descem. Após a partida dos amigos John decide escalar sozinho e acaba morrendo, mas não seu sonho dele. Em Calgary, Alberta, no Canadá, em abril de 1982, são apresentados os canadenses que tentarão vencer o Everest. Naquele dia, tirando algumas animosidades, era o começo de um sonho que continuou quando a equipe canadense chegou, em 22 de julho de 1982, em Katmandu, no Nepal. Apesar de todos saberem dos riscos, os vários imprevistos imponderáveis logo começaram a transformar o sonho num pesadelo.

Get ready for a (literally) breathtaking trek up Mt. Everest, from Base Camp at 17,600 feet; through the chilling, corpse-strewn Death Zone; to the very pinnacle of the the Earth, five and a half miles above sea level. For those brave souls who survive the harrowing climb to the top of the world, it is a transformative experience. But can the excruciating ascent—through frigid cold, blasting wind, blinding sun, and severe lack of oxygen—cause permanent, damaging changes to the human brain and body? In the wake of the 1996 disaster that took eight climbers in a single day, scientists follow a team of hikers to measure, for the first time ever, the toll high-altitude climbing takes on the heart, lungs, blood, and brain. Why do seemingly rational people make poor, sometimes fatal decisions as they approach the peak? And the danger doesn’t end there—as NOVA discovers during the descent, when one climber's respiratory illness takes a terrifying turn on the isolated mountainside.
