The Conquest Of The Everest. An Oscar classic

We all hear the myth of Mount Everest, the highest mountain in the world, in the Himalayas. But little is known about the first feet to reach its summit for the first time.

This 1953 Oscar-nominated film documents this wondrous feat of man, the arduous ascent Tenzing Norgay and Edmund Hillary had to overcome to reach the highest point on the planet.
