Director/Producer: Mohammed Alvi Naqvi

Description:

A routine school commute turns terrifying when a cable car’s wire snaps, leaving eight passengers–including six schoolboys–dangling 900 feet above a ravine in the remote Himalayan foothills. With no margin for error and a cable that could fail at any moment, an unlikely alliance of rescuers must improvise under intense public scrutiny, racing against an invisible clock before disaster strikes live on television.
