Final Descent (2000)

This made-for-TV-movie sees a woman totally disregarding the wishes of her father (Jurgen Prochnow) to climb the mountain which claimed the life of her sister.

What she doesn't know is that her climbing team is packed full of villains.

Although he is playing one of the good guys in this film, the pock-marked Prochnow is much better known as an inveterate villain. MovieMax fans will recognise him from The Replacement Killers and Wing Commander. He has also starred in The Seventh Sign, Beverley Hills Cop 2, The English Patient and, most famously, Das Boot, the tense submarine thriller which first brought him to international notice. Prochnow returns to the high-tension action genre for Final Descent, this time 18,000 feet above rather than below sea level.
