Hold your breath as you embark on the journey to conquer the 'Roof of the World' - 'Everest'.

Adapted from the bestselling novel by author Jon Krakauer and the true events of the 1996 earthquake that shook Nepal, the film follows the extraordinary journey of two mountaineering teams aiming to conquer Mount Everest, also known as the "roof of the world".

Famous for being the world's highest mountain, Mount Everest attracts countless adventurous tourists from all over the world each year who come to test their limits and conquer it. The film's setting was outdoors, with locations including the foothills of Everest (Nepal), the Alps (Italy), Cinecitta Studios (Rome), and Pinewood Studios (England).

"Everest" recounts the journey of two mountaineering teams aiming to conquer the "roof of the world" amidst one of the most devastating snowstorms of all time. Under extremely harsh conditions, they must find a way to overcome almost insurmountable obstacles to survive and return home.

Viafirst trailer Just released by the producers, the image of Everest covered in white snow appears majestic and awe-inspiring, just as people have always described it. The meticulously planned expedition of the two climbing teams, led by Rob Hall (Jason Clarke) and Scott Fischer (Jake Gyllenhaal), is suddenly derailed by what is considered one of the most devastating snowstorms ever seen. In an instant, the storm sweeps away the beauty of Everest as well as all the hopes of everyone. All around them are now countless dangers lurking, ready to devour anyone. Their lifelong passion transforms into a battle for survival against nature; what will help them overcome this and return?

InclipIn the latest release from Universal, the "Everest" cast and crew share for the first time the difficulties in achieving realistic shots. "You can't film at home; you have to go up into the mountains, you need real snow and real weather," Jason Clarke (who plays Rob Hall) begins his story.

To realistically recreate the devastating blizzard that struck the "roof of the world" in 1996, the actors had to embody real mountaineers, with a level of performance described as "even better than acting in a movie." Even during filming, the crew faced an avalanche that buried the filming area. The main goal was to make viewers feel as though they were trapped on the mountain that night, added Thomas Wright, the Australian actor who played the mountaineer.

Through this trailer, Universal and the EVEREST film crew want to send a message of solidarity with the victims of the recent earthquake in Nepal and call for donations to the NGO Oxfam. For more details, please visit www.oxfam.org.

"Everest" is scheduled to premiere on September 18, 2015, in 2D, 3D, and IMAX 3D formats.
