The Stream Tracker team takes a look at Touching the Void (2003), the harrowing docudrama that recreates Joe Simpson and Simon Yates' near‑fatal 1985 climb of Siula Grande in the Peruvian Andes. Kevin Macdonald's film stitches together firsthand testimony and dramatic reconstruction to follow a shattered rope, a deadly crevasse and an almost impossible fight for survival on the glacier. Widely praised on release, the film won the BAFTA Alexander Korda Award for Best British Film. In this article you’ll find where to stream this summit‑to‑descent survival story—whether you’re searching on Netflix, Disney+, Prime Video or Apple TV+—and what to expect from each platform (availability can vary by region).

Synopsis

Based on real events, two climbers set out in 1985 to conquer the forbidding 6,344 m west face of Siula Grande in Peru's Cordillera Huayhuash; after an avalanche leaves one of them gravely injured, their descent becomes a harrowing struggle to survive, forcing impossible choices and pushing friendship and endurance to the brink.
