The Wildest Dream: Conquest of Everest

Accompany present-day adventurer Conrad Anker as he recreates the 1924 ascent of George Mallory to the top of Mount Everest to solve a 75-year old mystery.

THE WILDEST DREAM brings to the giant screen the last days of adventurer and Mount Everest climber George Mallory the man who may or may not have been the first to scale the worlds most challenging peak. After disappearing 800 feet from the summit in 1924, Mallorys body was never found until present-day climber Conrad Anker discovered it, frozen and intact, 75 years later.

Linking the past with the present, THE WILDEST DREAM recounts Ankers efforts to scale Everest in precisely the same fashion as Mallory with authentic equipment and clothing to see if Mallory could indeed have made it to the top. Sifting through clues left by Mallory, some of which have only come to light with the discovery of his body, Anker and his team attempt to solve the mystery of Mallorys death and grant to him the accolades that he may well be due.

THE WILDEST DREAM is narrated by esteemed actor Liam Neeson, accompanied by Natasha Richardson as the voice of Mallorys wife Ruth and Ralph Fiennes as Mallory. The couples letters provide the backdrop for Mallorys quest to scale the worlds highest mountain, as well as for its thrilling reenactment. Never-before-seen archival footage combines with the spectacle and grandeur of present-day Everest on the worlds largest screen to portray an adventure — shrouded in mystery — that spans generations.

Will every one who posted something about 20 below 0 not being cold enough please SHUT THE F**K UP.. None of you can even come close to exeriencing the elements these mountaineer had to climb through

@taylrswift4president No shoes in the 20s? Are you fucking serious right now? So you're saying G.Malorie climbed Everest on bare feet? Come on man, no shoes in the 20s? LMAO That's gotta be one of the dumbest things I've ever heard. Shoes were first invented about 5,000 years ago by the Egyptians. Shoes have a WAY longer history than you're thinking buddy. So before you "duh" somebody, do some research. Besides pause at 0:42 and you can see a boot next to Malorie's left leg.

@ljoch88 Ummm, that's a pretty dumb comment. Why don't you go look into the highest altitudes at which choppers can stay in the air and tell me if it comes anything close to 29,028 feet.

@menukjau It's not about nationality, it's about trying to find the truth as to whether 2 brave men managed to make it to the top of a mountain that remained unconquered for a further 30 years from when Mallory & Irvine disappeared. If it was about nationality, why is it that it's been mainly Americans that have searched for the truth.

You say you doubt that they made it to the top.........it's guess work just like those who say they did make it to the top, it's doubtful we will find the truth

[menukjau]

The Brits are keep pushing this issue, they desperately want to prove that they climbed Everest first. Well it doesn't matter, Mallory and Irvine did not come down alive. Reaching the top is optional but coming down alive is mandatory. I doubt that they survived a storm at the top with their gabadine jackets. Most likely they failed, but in my eyes they're still great men in history. Brits first conqured Kanchenjunga, which is far more deadlier and harder mountain to climb than Everest.

@neop2626 People always forget about the cameraman. You see some adventurer in a shark cage and think he is bad ass but no one ever considers the cameraman outside the cage filming lol

conrad anker was not the first to discover Mallory's body. Chinese did
