About Me


John Langer (Two-time Academy Award nominee John Hurt), a crusty old civic engineer, has an arsenal full of memories. With irreverent wit, he rattles on in his irascible humor burning his spicy stories into the imagination of a young neighbor kid, Danny Himes (Young Artist Award winner Gregory Smith). Danny is a gifted, spirited athlete with something to prove. Worldly, old man Langer has turned his back on proving anything at all.

Old man Langer and Danny seem an unlikely pair. Their relationship turns from young caregiver/caretaker to student/mentor to comrades on a quest to free themselves individually and together from life's inequities and inevitabilities.

It's post WWII. Danny's father, Earl (Academy Award nominee David Strathairn), did not serve in the military and is considered a coward. Danny excels to overcome his father's reputation while Earl is actually more a man than the town knows.

"You don't smoke, you don't drink, and you don't screw. What kind of man are you anyway?" Langer asks Danny.

The more appropriate question is: "What kind of men were they?" That is the Story of The Climb.

94 minutes COLOR
Rated PG-13

Read what The Critics have said about THE CLIMB!

"[John] Hurt brings Langer to life with… unapologetic genuineness. [The Climb] deserves mass consumption." -Houston Chronicle

"A jewel well-worth seeking out for its humanity, humor, and most of all, the brilliant hurting of Hurt." -Chicago Tribune

"'The Climb' is the type of sleeper film that deserves to be discovered. Tender, touching, tremendously exciting, and very funny. Hurt gives a grand performance and Smith does a remarkable job." -Village News/Southwest News

"An earnest coming of age tale. Strathairn excels, Hurt is terrific!" -Miami Herald

"A sincere effort! Fine performances, most notably by John Hurt, David Strathairn and young Gregory Smith." -Los Angeles Times

"Inspiring! Properly nostalgic, beautifully made! Has something for everyone" -The SF Examiner

"Accomplished in telling its heartfelt story... [John] Hurt [gives an] amazing performance... Hurt infuses the part with wicked humor, a mix of wisdom and despair." -San Francisco Chronicle

"[David] Strathairn is... compelling, while [John] Hurt pulls out all the stops and delivers a highly entertaining turn. Gregory Smith is the rare screen adolescent who is both credible and interesting." -The Hollywood Reporter
