Other mistake: The scene at night after the storm ends, they wake up and the time is shown at the bottom of the screen of 00:30am, ie. 24 hour time. Another night later on in the film, the time is shown as 12:30am.

Directed by: Baltasar Kormakur
Starring: Jake Gyllenhaal, Keira Knightley, Robin Wright, Jason Clarke, Elizabeth Debicki, Martin Henderson, Ang Phula Sherpa, Thomas M. Wright
Factual error: The characters move way too fast when they're in the "Death zone" - not possible due to lack of air.
Scott Fischer: Sit down man, acclimatize.
Question: Sounds a bit weird to me that there would be a direct flight from Christchurch to Kathmandu in the beginning of the movie?
Answer: I did an Internet search, and every flight from Christchurch to Katmandu has at least two stopovers. However, the film takes place about two decades ago and there is no readily available information on flight paths for that time.
