Since the early 1920s, the fate of George Mallory and Andrew Irvine on Everest has been the most enduring mystery in mountaineering. Their highly publicized 1924 attempt to be the first to summit ended in a bank of clouds at the peak, where they both disappeared. More than 75 years later, American alpinist Conrad Anker found Mallory’s frozen body below the summit, with all his gear intact, only deepening the mystery of whether he made the full ascent, and what caused his death. Haunted by Mallory’s story, Anker returned to Everest to try to unravel the mystery. Mallory’s story, and Anker’s is told in a new film, The Wildest Dream, narrated by Liam Neeson, with voiceover by Ralph Fiennes and Natasha Richardson, in her last film role.
