North Face (2009)

Based on a true story, North Face is directed by Philipp Stoelzl and stars Benno Fuermann and Florian Lukas as ace mountain climbers Toni Kurz and Andi Hinterstoisser, who set out to climb the notorious North Face of the Eiger in 1936. However, they're not alone: the prospect of an Olympic Gold Medal has drawn climbers from all over Europe and as Kurz and Hinterstoisser begin their ascent, they're hotly pursued by hotshot Austrian climbers Willy Angerer (Simon Schwarz) and Edi Rainer (Georg Friedrich). Meanwhile, Kurz and Hinterstoisser's childhood friend Luise (Johanna Wokalek) arrives to cover the story as a journalist, accompanied by her boss, Nazi loyalist Herr Arau (Ulrich Tukur). A chance meeting at the foot of the Eiger rekindles Luise's long-held feelings for Kurz, but things are complicated by the fact that Arau also seems interested in her.
