The Wildest Dream

aka: The Wildest Dream: Conquest of Everest

Theatrical Release Feature Documentary for Cinemas and IMAX Theatres. Produced by Altitude Films with Atlantic Productions. Presented by Serengeti Entertainment and National Geographic Entertainment. UK Television Premiere on BBC Two.

In 1924 mountaineer George Mallory was torn between love for his wife Ruth, and his obsession with the last great adventure left to man: becoming the first person to reach the summit of the untouched Mount Everest.

Dressed in gabardine and wearing hobnailed boots, Mallory risked everything in pursuit of his dream, but was last seen alive 800 feet below the summit. Then the clouds rolled in and he disappeared into legend.

After discovering Mallory’s body on Everest in 1999, modern climber Conrad Anker’s life became intertwined with Mallory’s story. Remarkably, Mallory’s body was found with all his belongings intact. The only thing missing was a photograph of Ruth, which Mallory had promised to place on the summit. Haunted by Mallory’s story, Conrad now returns to Everest to discover the truth about this compelling and gilded man from a bygone era and to unravel the mysteries surrounding his disappearance.

This theatrical feature documentary is directed by leading film maker Anthony Geffen, in his first collaboration with executive producer Mike Medavoy who has been behind seven Best Picture Academy Award-winning films.

Liam Neeson narrates, with featured voices Ralph Fiennes, Natasha Richardson, Hugh Dancy and Alan Rickman.

The music is composed by Joel Douek, recorded by the Prague Philharmonic Orchestra, and includes the song ‘Edge of Heaven’ by Lisbeth Scott.
