'The Wildest Dream: Conquest of Everest'

The dream actually proved not to be all that wild for two climbers who decided to trace, quite literally, the footsteps of Englishman George Mallory in scaling Mount Everest.

This documentary, narrated by Liam Neeson, recalls the effort by Conrad Anker and Leo Houlding to forge ahead with the attempt that cost Mallory and climbing companion Sandy Irvine their lives. Alan Rickman and Ralph Fiennes also lend their voices to the project. *** (PG: AS) (Also on Blu-ray)
