Summary:
On May 29, 1953, a New Zealander named Edmund Hillary and his climbing partner, Tenzing Norgay, became the first to reach the highest point on earth--the summit of Mt. Everest. The few brief minutes these two men spent on top of the world profoundly affected the rest of their lives. Actual footage of the climb, sound recordings, letters, diaries and interviews are woven together with new sequences to tell this remarkable tale.
