From May 10th to 11th, 1996, Mount Everest wrote a black memory in the history of human mountaineering. The sudden snowstorm that day killed 8 climbers, leading to the biggest tragedy in the summit of Mount Everest at that time. After more than ten years of hard work, the Icelandic director Batasa Komaku finally brought the disaster to the big screen this year.

My duty is to reproduce their true and tragic moments." However, since the tragedy of the mountain disaster occurred to the release of the movie "Desperate Elevation", the disputes caused by all parties during this period have never been Never stopped.
