OPENING SEPTEMBER 12TH. MacGillivray Freeman Films presents THE ALPS. Filled with majestic views of Switzerland's natural beauty, a stirring and inspirational journey full of adventure, courage, personal loss, and family triumph.
THE ALPS follows the true life story of mountaineer and journalist John Harlin III, who sets out on an epic personal journey to climb the deadly North Face of the Eiger, the stormiest, steepest peak in all of Europe -- forty years after the same mountain claimed the life of his larger-than-life father, climbing legend John Harlin II.
THE ALPS is brought to you by the two-time Academy Award®-nominated producers of Everest ... MacGillivray Freeman Films.
