Set in 1921, the pic written by Sheldon Turner and produced by Jennifer Klein follows George Mallory (McGregor), who is picked by the arrogant Arthur Hinks (Strong) of the Royal Geographic Society to scale the impossible. Following the First World War, the fading British empire is desperate for a restorative victory, but for Mallory and his rival, the eccentric Aussie George Finch (Heughan), the challenge of Everest has nothing to do with patriotism, instead it is a singular test of self.

UTA Independent Film Group is overseeing the U.S. sale.
