Many Hollywood blockbusters feature intense action scenes, so what kind of chemical reaction would occur if outdoor sports were integrated into movies? Below are 3 outdoor sports blockbusters that were hugely popular last year—guaranteed to get you fired up after watching!
1. Everest
Everest is based on the book Into Thin Air by American author Jon Krakauer, and the story originates from the real-life event of a mountaineering team encountering a blizzard on Mount Everest in 1996.
In 1996, Jon Krakauer, a seasoned columnist and mountaineer, was sent by Outside magazine to investigate the commercialization of Everest. He joined a commercial expedition led by New Zealand guide Rob Hall. Krakauer, unable to resist the “dream of men and boys” to summit Everest, decided to attempt the climb. On May 10 of that year, Krakauer and several teammates successfully reached the summit and descended safely. However, hours later, he learned that the other 19 climbers were caught in a blizzard during their descent, stranded at altitudes above 8,000 meters, with 12 ultimately losing their lives in the snow. It was the deadliest year on Everest in terms of fatalities.
