The Best Mountaineering Movies of All Time

The desire to reach the summit is one of humanity's most irrepressible goals. Explorers and adventurers have continued to climb since the period when equipment and opportunities began to allow. And it is a fact that every climb has a story. Some did not come back, while the stories of some became legendary. Even in the modern climbing era, many climbers lost their lives during the climb. However, this fact has never changed, every climb, whether successful or unsuccessful, has a story. Climbing movies are about adventures experienced either to reach a summit or to save a group of climbers. The goal is always to strive to achieve the impossible. Striving to survive on a 90-degree rock in minus 40-degree weather, proving to the whole world that you have achieved something, is really the kind of story that people want to see on the screen. In the Hollywood world, sometimes very famous actors starred in movies, and sometimes movies that became famous not because of the actors' fame but because of the event's place in history took their place among the best mountaineering movies in history. There are significant contributions from both American cinema and European and Far Eastern cinemas to mountaineering movies, which include true stories and documentary works. Let's take a look together and choose the one we feel closest to from these mountaineering movies, each of which is a source of inspiration.
