Trailer for the Mountain Climbing Film BROAD PEAK Tells a True Story of an Ice Warrior

Here’s a great trailer for Netflix’s intense-looking Polish mountain climbing thriller Broad Peak, which tells the true story of an ice warrior, Maciej Berbeka, the legendary Polish mountaineer and member of the Ice Warriors group.

In the film, “Maciej Berbeka makes the first winter ascent of Broad Peak in 1988, escaping death by inches. Andrzej Zawada, the expedition leader, announces a great success. Once they return to Poland, it turns out Maciej reached "only" the Rocky Summit, which is twenty-three metros lower than the actual peak located one hour away. Resentful of his friends' lies, Berbeka withdraws from mountaineering. Twenty- -four years later, he takes a call from Krzysztof Wielicki, who also participated in the first expedition. ‘We have to finish what we started,’ says Krzysztof as he persuades Maciej to join the next Broad Peak expedition. After a long hesitation, Maciej decides to try for the summit once again.

“When it comes to fighting for honor, price doesn’t matter. Maciej Berbeka returns to one of the most dangerous mountains in the world, Broad Peak, to clear his good name. Returning to Karakoram comes with hard decisions that will forever change his life and the ones close to him.”

The film comes from director Leszek Dawid, and it stars Ireneusz Czop as Maciej, Maja Ostaszewska, Dawid Ogrodnik, Marcin Czarnik, and Lukasz Simlat. I enjoy watching these kinds of films that test people’s limits! This looks like it would be an intense and grueling challenge!

I love doing this kind of stuff for real. I’ve never done anything this crazy, but I love exploring the world and putting myself into awkward and dangerous situations at times. Netflix debuts Broad Peak on September 14th, 2022.
