After scaling the never-before-climbed 21,000-foot Siula Grande, mountain climbers Joe Simpson and Simon Yates face their greatest challenge yet: getting back down. But when Simpson shatters his leg in an awful fall and the friends are separated by a series devasting mishaps, their individaul journeys become an "inspiring voyage into extsremem experience that should not be missed!"
Based on Joe Simpson's international bestseller, "Touching the Void" combines dramatic and documentary techniques and is directed by Kevin Macdonald, the Academy Award winning director of "One Day in September."
