Hold on everybody because we've got a real cliffhanger!I'm not even sorry.
The movie starts with Chris O'Donnell (who you may remember from the George Clooney superhero movie whose name we fear to speak) and Robin Tunney, the actress who played the main character in "The Craft", letting their father die in a rock climbing accident. It's sad though. Well, more funny. But it's not murder.
Fast forward many years and Tunney's character has become a famous mountain climber and has to lead a millionaire up K2 as part of a peculiar marketing stunt. Unfortunately for her, this millionaire sticks his middle finger at fate and decides to go ahead with the climb in spite of the weather and the two of them plus another even more skilled climber end up buried in a snow cave. O'Donnell gathers together a bunch of climbers at the base camp including two annoying Australian brothers, a Pakistani guy whose brother died instead of falling in the ice cave, a random attractive girl who is obviously going to hook up with O'Donnell, and an old guy whose wife died on the mountain. Their plan? They're going to save them with nitroglycerin! NOTHING COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG.
Spoiler: Things do. But in spite of finding out someone is a murderer, a case of edema, many scenes of cliffhanging, and enough explosions to make Michael Bay giddy, things could be way worse.
Quotes: [O'Donnell's character explaining the danger] "It's not just gonna be snow. There's gonna be ice and rock . . ."
