Free Solo

2019 • 100 minutes

About this movie

A stunning, intimate and unflinching portrait of free solo climber Alex Honnold, as he prepares to achieve his lifelong dream: scaling the face of the world’s most famous rock — the 3,200-foot El Capitan in Yosemite National Park — without a rope. Renowned filmmakers E. Chai Vasarhelyi and Jimmy Chin capture the death-defying climb with exquisite artistry and masterful, vertigo-inducing camerawork.

Ratings and reviews

I actually thought the Dawn wall was a better film. But still absolutely mind blowing what he has accomplished, huge climbing fan so it was cool to see. I think his girlfriend may be in for a life of heart attacks watching him free solo.

Any thoughts what date this is available? I understand it is on iTunes and has already been aired on National Geographic. Thoroughly looking forward to it, especially after the Oscar!!

This story is compelling but there's something deeply sad about it.
