The closer you are to death. The more you realize you are alive.

Based on the bestselling novel by Joe Simpson, Touching The Void recounts the mountain climb Simpson and his partner Simon Yates undertook in 1985. The film follows the two young men from the North of England, both in their early twenties, as they set out to climb the 21,000 foot ice-face - the Siula Grande - in the Peruvian Andes. Simpson and Yates embark on an "Alpine style" climb - with no backup team, no helicopters and no equipment other than what they carry on their backs. Theirs is the purist technique: roped together, and utterly dependent on each others skill. Simpson and Yates have guts, youthful arrogance and talent. They climb up icicles, dangle over 1,400m drops and spend three hours making a cup of tea at -62 degrees! Making it to the top in three days, they run into blizzard weather on a treacherous ridge on their way down, where Simpson falls and shatters his leg - a veritable death sentence. A heroic battle for survival unfolds in which both men are faced with life or death decisions that test the human spirit to its limit.
