History Film / Everest2015

* MindRape: The extreme cold and oxygen deprivation wrecks not only the bodies of climbers, but the minds as well. People begin to undress in freezing cold because they suddenly start feeling hot. They walk off the cliffs without realising it. And no, those back up oxygen tanks were not empty, they were not sabotaged or neglected - the guy who found them was just so utterly befuddled by that point he ''saw'' them as empty. And the others, also mentally compromised, didn't double-check.

* HopeSpot: Base Camp arranges to send fresh oxygen up to Rob, who is stranded near the summit. [[spoiler: Unfortunately his rescuers are forced to turn back before they can reach him when the weather takes a bad turn.]]

* JerkAss: The movie has NoAntagonist besides the weather but Ian, the leader of the South African team, comes pretty close, though he doesn't have much screen time. In real life, he was actually ''more'' of a JerkAss and completely disregarded the need for the teams to stagger summit attempts in order to avoid bottlenecking, one of the main problems that occurred on the fateful day.

''Everest'' is a 2015 film, directed by Baltasar Kormákur and starring Creator/JasonClarke, Creator/JoshBrolin, Creator/JohnHawkes, Creator/RobinWright, Creator/EmilyWatson, Creator/KeiraKnightley, Sam Worthington, and Creator/JakeGyllenhaal, which [[{{Dramatization}} dramatizes]] the events of the 1996 climbing season on the eponymous mountain.

* BadassNative: The Sherpa people who work on Mount Everest. Also Col. Madan K.C., [[spoiler:the helicoptor pilot who rescues Beck.]]

** Though the film plays with this, by explaining [[spoiler: his survival with the ThePowerOfLove, as he manages to stand and walk while picturing his wife and children asking him to join them.]]

* NeverFoundTheBody: [[spoiler:The bodies of Doug and Andy have never been found.]] Subverted, as this is real life and it drives home the point that they are dead, rather than [[HesJustHiding just hiding.]]

* HairTriggerAvalanche: The area known as the Icefall, where tons of shifting ice can break off and come crashing down at a moment's notice.

** Though the film plays with this, by explaining [[spoiler: his survival with the ThePowerOfLove, as he manages to stand and walk only after picturing his wife asking him to come with her]].

** [[spoiler:Beck]] surviving twice against all odds (living though a night completely exposed on the mountain and then besting his would-be death sentence of exposure upon his return to the camp) seems a complete Hollywood move, but as mentioned further down [[RealityIsUnrealistic it did happen exactly that way in real life]], and was just as inexplicable to the other climbers then.

* AsianSpeekeeEngrish: Averted. When Beck asks Ang Dorje if he can speak English, Ang Dorje replies with "Probably better that you" to much laughter at Beck's expense. Played somewhat straight with Yasuko.

* BadassNative: The Sherpa people who work on Mount Everest. Also Col. Madan K.C., the helicoptor pilot who rescues Beck.

* DwindlingParty: The climbing groups start to suffer from this after they summit and the blizzard moves in. [[spoiler:The first to go is Doug, who falls off a cliff suffering from oxygen deprivation, Andy rolls off a cliff as he starts tearing his clothes off, and Fischer, Beck and Yasuko get caught in the blizzard. Beck gets better.]]

* BittersweetEnding: [[spoiler:Beck stumbles back alive against all odds, but Rob, Harris, Doug, Scott, and Yasuko are all dead. If not for Beck managing to survive, it would have been a straight DownerEnding. And even so, Beck is mutilated by frostbite, losing his hands and nose.]]

* NeverFoundTheBody: [[spoiler:The bodies of Doug and Harris have never been found.]] Subverted, as this is real life and it drives home the point that they are dead, rather than [[HesJustHiding just hiding.]]

* TrailersAlwaysLie: For those unfamiliar with the disaster, some trailers focus a lot on [[spoiler:Rob getting down the mountain and not leaving Harris or Doug. In the movie, though, he barely makes in any farther from where he is when the storm starts, and Doug and Harris die fairly quickly.]]

** Colonel Madan, the rescue helicopter pilot, who [[spoiler:flew way above the operational altitude to retrieve the injured Beck, and then, since it was it impossible to properly lift off in the rarefied air, ''dropped his helicopter off the cliff until it could catch on the thicker air below'']]. All in a day's work.
