Climb New Heights With 'EVEREST' at the Henry Ford IMAX Theatre Let IMAX Take You on an Amazing Expedition to the Top of Mt. Everest DEARBORN, Mich., Jan. 6 /PRNewswire/ -- The top of Mt. Everest calls only to the most daring and determined of individuals who are convinced that dreams can be realized through incredible effort and risk. EVEREST is the story of amazing achievements; taking audiences on an inspirational and spell-binding ascent with an international team of climbers who found hope, beauty and triumph in the wake of tragedy. Tickets for EVEREST are $10 adults, $9 seniors and $8.50 children. The Henry Ford IMAX Theatre is located at 20900 Oakwood Blvd. in Dearborn. For information on tickets and showtimes, call 313-271-1570 or visit the website at http://www.thehenryford.org/ . Filmed in breathtaking IMAX(R) photography, the EVEREST Film Expedition brings the story of the tallest Himalayan peak and one of humanity's greatest adventures to the largest motion picture screens in the world. EVEREST features the first large-format images ever brought back from Mt. Everest. It also tells the dramatic true story of the EVEREST expedition's journey to the summit, just days after the infamous 1996 tragedy in which eight climbers lost their lives in a deadly storm. Over creaking ice falls, across quaking chasms, up dangerous, towering cliffs, through a harrowing rescue of fellow mountaineers and into the mystical danger zone of oxygen-thin altitude, the IMAX camera team maintains the spirit of determination, optimism and camaraderie that leads to miraculous achievements. EVEREST is filled with fascinating information about how this mountain was formed and continues to evolve, how high-altitude challenges a climber's physical and mental capabilities, and how Sherpa culture and tradition permeates the Mt. Everest experience. But EVEREST is also a rich, dramatic story about the relationship between a group of daring human beings and the mountain they love, respect and sometimes fear. "Great fictional films impart an emotional story of a life and death struggle. Our large format films, being non-fiction, have never before had that same urgency and poignancy," said producer Greg MacGillivray. "But with EVEREST we have these powerful story elements in a real, nonfiction film, photographed as it all happened in the most hyper-realistic format yet invented."
