Set in 1936, this riveting recreation depicts the two Germans — Toni Kurz and Andreas Hinterstoisser — who confronted “the last problem of the Alps”: the Eiger’s North Face. Chased up the wall and then joined by an Austrian team, the men battle avalanches and frostbite (plus, the Nazi-era propaganda machine embroiling them) as nature swoops down, famously ending all their lives after they pass the point of no return — the Hinterstoisser Traverse. Director Philipp Stoelzl grippingly and accurately captures the mayhem, daring, and fight for survival.
