在这部八千米死亡线冒险/剧情片中,泰勒是个事业有成的检察官，哈洛则是个大学里物理学顶尖教授，前者个性自私、骄傲、激进绝不让任何事物挡住他的成功道路，而后者则是善良、体贴有正义感的好人。二人皆有共同的目标─爬超过八千米世界各山……
Taylor and Harold are good friends and avid climbers. While climbing one day, they meet a man who it seems might be attempting to climb K2, the world's second-highest peak. Always pushy, Taylor bugs the man for a spot on the team, claiming that he and Harold are good enough. They may be very good, but K2 is a very tough mountain.
