Plot Summary: In 2015, professional climber Tommy Caldwell, looking to overcome personal heartbreak and traumatic life events, attempts to achieve the impossible by free climbing the sheer 3,000-foot Dawn Wall of El Capitan in Yosemite National Park. Along with climbing partner Kevin Jorgeson, he spends nineteen days living on the sheer granite face, facing intense physical and mental challenges, including a particularly grueling section that tests their friendship and resolve.

Dad's Preview: This is the story of Tommy Caldwell, one of the best rock climbers alive. It takes us through his very interesting life, and all that leads to Yosemite's sheer rock "dawn wall". The segment where Tommy and several other climbers were taken hostage by rebels in Kyrgyzstan is an incredible event. They actually escaped captivity and fled to find help - it was a life-changing experience. Tommy teams up with Kevin Jorgeson to develop a plan to conquer El Capitan. The mental and physical ordeal, spanning six years, is beyond commendable. And then you see them climbing the impossible wall. Good Lord. It scares me to death.
