What critics compared Into Thin Air: Death on Everest to
Telling the same story as, but not officially based on, Jon Krakauer's best-selling book Into Thin Air (perhaps changing things up because the book was already officially adapted for a 1997 TV movie, Into Thin Air: Death on Everest), the film hinges on the freakish conditions that led to the deaths of eight climbers on May 10, 1996.
