"She climbs for closure. The mountain answers with silence."
Everest 2 returns with bone-chilling intensity to the world’s deadliest summit — where nature doesn’t forgive, and every step upward is a wager with death. This time, the danger isn’t just the climb… it’s what waits above.
A decade after the 1996 disaster, survivors and next-generation climbers return to Chomolungma’s frozen shadow for a groundbreaking mission: to retrieve the body of a legendary Sherpa guide lost near the summit, whose remains could reveal the truth behind Everest’s most mysterious avalanche.
Among them is Maya Hall (Rebecca Ferguson), daughter of one of the climbers who died in the first expedition — and driven not by glory, but closure. Accompanied by expedition leader Tsewang Norbu (Tenzing Norgay Trainor) and a team of elite alpinists, the ascent begins as a solemn tribute… but quickly descends into a fight for survival.
Freak weather systems. Hidden crevasses. Altitude psychosis. And worst of all — the mountain itself. Strange echoes in the snow. Phantom voices on the wind. Clues that something up there remembers — and doesn’t want to be disturbed.
Everest 2 is not just a survival epic — it’s a psychological descent wrapped in ice. A meditation on obsession, grief, and the illusion of conquest. Because on Everest, you never conquer. You ask permission. And sometimes… the answer is no.
