Two mountain climbers partner in the rescue of tycoon Dabney Coleman's son off a high peak. Jason George and Ned Vaughn aren't just different racially they have serious different approaches to life. Vaughn is white and a Christian, George is black and a skeptic to say the least. George is also keeping company with a believer in Kylie Santiago and her father Clifton Davis really does not like his son-in-law.One reviewer is right about one thing, this Christian film from the Billy Graham Evangelical Association spent quite a bit of dough on this, especially the mountain climbing scenes. Coleman's company which got a windfall of good publicity decides to sponsor both these guys on a climb of the legendary Mount Chiconcagua in the Chilean Andes.I was actually quite impressed with the 21st century technology used for mountain climbing. That 3 dimensional holograph was really something.It's a Christian film, it's also a tragic one and it follows the usual parameters. But it's a great film technically if nothing else.

this movie may be comforting, to people who have a strong faith, but itis SO racist.the atheist is black and a jerk, where as the amazing white religiousguy is a understanding, safe climber who forgives the other man, 4 being an a-hole. and the end is just plain stupid.if u r religious, u might like it (as i said up there) but if u have any sense u will see how offending it is.this is offending junk that will make any1 with a good sense of what is right and what is distasteful

When I saw the movie, it left a "mark" in my mind, I kept remembering parts of it and had to watch it again. The scenery is awesome and beautiful.The sequence of the story keeps you interested from start to end. There are so many topics of our life sewn together and presented in this production, like our struggles with traumas from the past and our pursue of success. You see business trickery intertwined with the thirst of fame;life & death decisions and more. There is a little bit of everything for every taste in this movie, from the sport fan to the romantic. It is a movie that is up to date with our use of technology so when you see it you sense this is a movie of our present time. I highly recommend it and you will be surprised!

How many mountains can a man climb in one lifetime? How many mountains can one climb in one movie? Racial bias, pride, loss, hurt, pregnancy, corporate success, painful past, family dysfunction, unreached dreams... after watching this gospel presentation you'll understand how God can use each problem we face in life as a part of the climb home. Next time, take the high road.
