The young Englishman Michael has quit his finance job to fulfill his dream of Chamonix: Arriving in the climbing paradise, the adrenaline junkie wants to conquer the 'big three' - the Matterhorn, the Eiger north face and Mont Blanc. Spurred on by his climbing partner JP, he embarks on an adventurous tour with the American professional mountaineer Leo, where the friends have to fight for their lives when they are surprised by a deadly storm.
SUMMIT FEVER offers spectacular mountaineering action that has rarely been seen so authentically. For this, director Julian Gilbey (A LONELY PLACE TO DIE), who is an extreme mountaineer himself, sent his actors Freddie Thorp (OVERDRIVE), Hollywood star Ryan Phillippe (ICE COLD Angels) and newcomer Mathilde Warnier to original locations at dizzying heights. Action-packed thrills in the tradition of EVEREST, VERTICAL LIMIT and CLIFFHANGER.
