Tenzing \u2013 Trailer<\/li>\n<\/ol>\nTenzing<\/em> tells the story of Tenzing Norgay, the Himalayan climber who became the first to summit Mount Everest after persuading the British climbing team that he belongs as an equal member rather than just a servant. The film stars Genden Phuntsok, Tom Hiddleston, and Willem Dafoe.\u00a0<\/p>\nRelease Date<\/strong>: In select theaters on October 9, 2026; on Apple TV on October 16, 2026<\/p>\nSynopsis<\/strong>: Tenzing Norgay, a gifted Himalayan climber who, alongside New Zealand mountaineer Edmund Hillary, became the first to summit Mount Everest. Encouraged by his wife Dawa, Tenzing finds an ally in expedition secretary Jill Henderson. Together, they persuade Colonel John Hunt that Tenzing belongs on the British climbing team, rather than merely serving it. Where Western climbers see \u201cEverest\u201d as something to be conquered, Tenzing reveres \u201cChomolungma\u201d as the sacred mother goddess. What follows is an ascent defined as much by the tensions between backgrounds, classes and competing ambitions as by the perils of the mountain itself. But high above the world, empire, rank and aspiration fall away, leaving two outsiders bound by mutual respect and trust \u2014 and for Tenzing, the fulfillment of both a lifelong dream and a spiritual calling.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n
