Simon (Nicholas Aaron) és Joe (Brendan Mackey) megkísérli megmászni a már sokak által sikertelenül legyőzni próbált közel 7000 méter magas Siula Grande-t. A küzdelmes út sikerrel jár, de a visszaúton baleset történik, ami végül tragédiába torkollik. Simon elvágja a sérült Joe kötelét, hogy a saját életét mentse, míg társa egy hasadékba esik. Simon folytatja az utat lefelé barátja megölésének kínzó gondolatával. Azonban Joe egy párkányon fennakadva túléli a zuhanást, s ettől a pillanattól egyedül kell folytatnia hősies küzdelmét a túlélésért. (Intersonic)

I don't understand mountaineers. In my opinion, and with all due respect, they can't be completely right in the head when they climb a perpendicular cliff 6000 meters above sea level using two iron crampons. But this goes hand in hand with immense admiration, because I would never dare to do something like that. And what Joe Simpson had to deal with is, from my perspective, one of the strongest demonstrations of courage and desire for life that I have ever heard of. I could almost feel all that suffering on my own flesh, and in the end I had to do a lot to control myself. Joe, you are awesome! 4 and 1/2*

A hegyek szerelmeseként valami nagyra számítottam, és még nagyobbat kaptam. A játék dokumentumfilm egyszerű szerkezete miatt ez a film sokkal jobban magával ragad, mint bármilyen más költséges és szofisztikált játékfilm. Briliáns!

An emotional and edifying story about how a strong will is one of the greatest attributes a person can have, and that fighting to the last of your strength sometimes pays off. Show me another film in the last five years that communicates this idea with even more intensity and I'll pay you a trip to the Peruvian Andes :)

A pseudo-documentary that wouldn’t work much if it weren’t narrated by Simpson and Yates in the flesh. Thanks to this fact, this picture about events that happened in 1985 has huge informational value. It starts off as a classic story about climbing. About a peak that has never been conquered and the climb. Where this achievement becomes exceptional is during the descent, which turns into hell on earth. The stubborn desire to survive versus absolute despair, injuries, dehydration, hunger, waning physical and mental strength and primarily absolute isolation in the middle of the Andes. And their plight presented them with several fundamental moral dilemmas which both of the climbers answer completely candidly, not trying to make themselves look better than they are. This movie has simply everything and leaves you with a feeling admiration not just for Simon and Yates, but for the climbing actors too.

Touching the Void is all about the strength of the human spirit and mind. The climbing scenes are superbly filmed and you feel together with the characters every inch of the uneven surface.
