Plot Synopsis by AsianWiki Staff ©

Makoto Fukamachi (Junichi Okada) is a Japanese cameraman. He finds an old camera on a backstreet of Nepal. The camera might possibly solve the mystery of whether George Mallory became the first person to successfully climb Mount Everest on June 8, 1924 or not.

Pursuing the old camera's past, Makoto Fukamachi meets legendary Alpinist Joji Habu (Hiroshi Abe). Joji Habu is isolated from other people because of his reckless and thoughtless personality.

Notes

Filming begins March, 2015 at Mount Everest and Nepal. Filming is expected to last for 4 months.
"Everest The Summit of the Gods" is the first Japanese film to shoot on Mount Everest.

Ram Nov 17 2016 12:10 am Its really very inspiring and motivational movie showing that our life is like Everest, lot of difficulties, challenges and hurdles but we should always keep moving, don't stop. Once you stop and put down efforts, life ends. Always faith on your self and achieve the desired goals.

Jürgen Weighardt Oct 12 2016 5:40 am I have seen the movie with English subtitles today on board our plane from Shanghai to Frankfurt. It was worth it, a movie with dramatic, exciting shots and sceneries and which gives insight into the world of extreme alpinists. Great work!
