The rescue of Beck Weathers was the highest flight ever achieved by a helicopter pilot. No one believed it could be done. What the film doesn't show is that Weathers, who was seriously ill, gave up his place to another climber who was in even worse condition than he was. Weathers had no idea if the helicopter would be able to return for him and knew he would die if it couldn't come back. When asked about that decision, he said that it seemed like the right thing to do.
