A climber attempts to scale the Eiffel Tower in a documentary that is equal parts high-altitude adventure and intimate personal portrait.
SKYCLIMBER Scaling The Eiffel Tower builds its tension with the precision of a heist film, mapping every step of an audacious ascent of the Eiffel Tower. The climbing sequences are visceral and genuinely exhilarating, the kind that hold an audience in collective breath. But running alongside the adrenaline is something more personal: a portrait of the person behind the climb, taking in homelessness, neurodivergence and the very real weight of men's mental health. The result is a film that works both as a gripping adventure and as a genuinely compelling personal story.
Content guidance: Contains themes of suicide and mental health.
