Avg Customer Rating: 
Product Description: THREE FLAGS OVER EVEREST This exhilarating documentary covers the record breaking expedition of the 1990 Mt. Everest International Peace Climb. The team includes climbers from China, the Soviet Union and the United States led by Jim Whittaker, the first American to have reached the summit of the mountain in 1963. Created by the same team that produced the popular film, "Winds of Everest," THREE FLAGS OVER EVEREST captures the high altitude experience - where high ideals of world peace and cooperation overcome frigid conditions, medical emergencies, language barriers and cultural differences. Narrated by Robert Redford, THREE FLAGS OVER EVEREST celebrates these differences and the understanding people reach through striving for a common goal.

Customer Reviews
Joint US, Chinese and former Soviet attempt at Everest.
In 1990 Jim Whittaker (first American to climb Everest, in 1963. See "Americans on Everest" tape) led a large team of climbers from the USA, China, and the former Soviet Union to climb Everest. While there were language barriers, and medical emergencies, the team was very successful. Viewers younger than about 30 may find the comradery shown (or simply filmed to show) to be corney, given the long ago demise of the Cold War. Something that the filmmakers attempted to use for narrative. But on a historical level, this was an interesting concept ten short years ago. Of the three Everest films produced by Pal Productions, this one is my least favorite (Everest: North Wall, and Winds of Everest being the other two).
