The men push their lives to the edge -- and test one another's endurance -- when they decide to scale one of the highest peaks in the Chilean Andes. Executive produced by Barry Werner (of Billy Graham's World Wide Pictures) and directed by John Schmidt (Kevin Can Wait, Wait of the World), The Climb co-stars Dabney Coleman, Clifton Davis, and Todd Bridges. ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi

Critic Reviews

Chris Hewitt (St. Paul), St. Paul Pioneer Press
When most movies are selling it loud and fast, this one sneaks in a message that seems revolutionary for its quiet confidence that you can't make it to the top without something to believe in.

Lawrence Toppman, Charlotte Observer
... offers a realistic view of the world that may surprise people who haven't seen a Christian film lately.

Thankfully this is a far cry from apocolyptic nonsense like Left Behind, and while the religion can get thick, it's not generally the focus of the film.
