Free Solo may be the most heart-pounding movie you’ll ever see.
Alex Honnold is a quiet, unassuming man; thoughtful and practical. But what he does for a living is rock-climb thousands of feet into the air without any safety gear. By following Honnold on his latest quest, and through interviews with family and friends, this movie responds to some of the burning questions that such behavior elicits.
Psychological study aside, this movie is a must-watch simply because seeing Honnold in his element is such a unique, exhilarating experience.
