"A passionate, courageous, andichilling journey. Brad Pitt deliversia magnificent performance." -Bill Diehl, ABC Network
Brad Pitt stars as the arrogant Heinrich, a famed Austrian mountain climber who leaves behind his wife and infant son to head to Himalayan expedition in 1939, only to fall into the hands of Allied forces as a prisoner of war. He and a fellow escapee, Peter Aufschnaiter (David Thewlis), make their way to the Forbidden City in Tibet, where Peter finds a wife and Heinrich befriends the western culture-obsessed teenage Dalai Lama (Kamyang Jamtsho Wangchuck), the spiritual leader of his Buddhist nation. As Heinrich waits out the war, his friendship with the Dalai Lama begins to transform him from naughty to humble.

This movie colour and contrast is unreal. Very well presented. Sound is very good, the surrounds only kick in when there climbing on the mountain around Tibet.

This story is very enjoyable and also to find out the movie is based on a true story is a little sad in some ways. You really do feel for the people in Tibet! But a must see movie......if your
