Plot: K2 is commonly known as “Savage Mountain” and with good reason. With an unprecedented fatality rate of one in four climbers, it has rightfully earned the title of the second most murderous mountain in the world. THE SUMMIT tells a frightening story of K2 earning its name – in August 2008 when 22 climbers from several international expeditions converged on High Camp of K2. 48 hours later, 11 were killed or simply vanished into thin air. Like a horror movie come to life, it was as if the mountain began stealing lives, one climber at a time.
