Movies like K2

127 Hours, based on a true story, focuses on a solo climber's struggle for survival after becoming trapped by a boulder. Although lacking the ice-covered peaks of K2, the solitary fight against nature's relentless force and the protagonist's resilience will resonate with audiences who appreciate survival tales.

Cliffhanger, a high-octane adventure set in the snow-covered Rockies, offers a similar mix of mountaineering and intense action sequences. Like K2, it involves life-threatening ascends and treacherous terrains, making it a perfect follow-up for those who are captivated by the thrill of climbing against all odds.

Combining high-altitude thrills with explosive action, Vertical Limit follows a group of climbers who embark on a dangerous rescue mission in the Himalayas. Fans of K2 will find the stunning cinematography and edge-of-the-seat tension familiar and equally gripping.
