The Wildest Dream: Conquest of Everest | Running time 1hr 33 min
Approx. Running time: 1 hour 33 Minutes
Please note that this film has a running time of 1 hour and 33 minutes, but has the same admission price of a 45-minute film. No extra charge to IMAX Pass holders.
Eighty-five years after George Mallory's final attempt to summit Mount Everest, THE WILDEST DREAM explores Mallory's obsession with becoming the first person to reach the highest place on Earth. Told through the explorer's poignant and evocative letters to his wife, Ruth, previously unseen photos and film archive from 1924 (restored from the original nitrate especially for the film), dramatization and a modern-day expedition retracing the original route taken in 1924, Mallory's incredible adventure lives again. The expedition was led by renowned mountaineer Conrad Anker, whose life became inextricably linked with Mallory's after he found Mallory's body on Everest in 1999. Using replica 1920s-era clothing and equipment, Anker sets out to solve the great mystery of whether Mallory succeeded in summiting Everest before he died -- he was last seen just 800 feet from the summit before the clouds closed in and he disappeared into legend. The most heartbreaking clue: All of Mallory's belongings were found intact on his body, except the photograph of his beloved Ruth, which he promised to leave at the top of the world if he succeeded.
Narrated by Lian Neeson. Featuring the voices of Ralph Fiennes, Natasha Richardson, Hugh Dancy, and Alan Rickman.
