登山大師梅斯納與卡莫蘭德計劃挑戰喜馬拉雅山脈中兩座高於八千公尺的險峻山峰──加舒布魯一峰與二峰。導演荷索帶著攝影機隨行,記錄他們攀登的艱辛與內心掙扎。梅斯納以冷靜而堅毅的語調談論危險和死亡,並回憶起過去登山所經歷的悲痛。然而,這些並未阻止他繼續向高峰挑戰。
荷索以第一人稱的視角現身,影片交織著客觀紀錄與個人情感,深刻探討攀登者對超越極限的迷戀和哲學思索。梅斯納在片中成為典型的荷索式角色,一個在極端環境中不懈追尋看似徒勞無用目標的執迷者。隨著拍攝的進行,荷索與梅斯納意識到他們彼此在極端探索中有著相同的夢想。
The mountaineers Rheinhold Messner and Hans Kammerlander want to accomplish the still-unfinished ascent of Gasherbrum I and II in the Himalayas. Werner Herzog accompanies the two men on their adventure to understand their motivation. In their high-altitude camp, the two climbers open up to the camera. Messner speaks about his relationship with danger and death, calm and determined. Messner and Herzog discover that they share the same dream.
