1936: Against the backdrop of the Nazi's advancing dominance over all thing German, a team of Austrian and team of German climbers tackle the Eiger in a race to see who is going to get there first. The German team is the focus of it and their climb is covered for a Berlin newspaper by the girlfriend of one.
Okay, I am going to ruin it for you....they don't make it and they die. It is still intense to watch and if climbing is anything like it is portrayed here, count me out. We have helicopters that will get you there. Cinematography was great, directing, good, acting good, dialogue...not sure, all in German with subtitles. There you are. A good watch.
