I 1953 lykkedes det Edmund Hillary som det første menneske nogensinde at sætte foden på verdens højeste punkt, toppen af Mount Everest. Verden havde fulgt åndeløst med. Ville det endelig lykkes at overvinde bjerget? Og var det overhovedet muligt for mennesker at overleve så højt oppe - eller ville de falde døde om? Dette er historien om Edmund Hillarys kamp for at nå toppen. Om forfrysninger, amputationer og livsfare. Om umådelig styrke, viljekraft og mod. Og om at opnå ting, selvom man kommer fra en fattig familie og får at vide, at man er en svækling.

Thor Heyerdahl er en af de mest utrolige eventyrere, verden nogensinde har set. Historien om ham er en historie om øde jungler, stormende have, kannibaler og kampe med menneskeædende hajer. En historie om vildskab, drama, fare, stolthed og ære. Om en mand, der nægtede at gøre tingene på den vante måde og udfordrede verden og sig selv igen og igen. I 1947 byggede Thor Heyerdahl sin egen tømmerflåde, satte ud fra Perus kyst og lod sig drive med af havstrømmene og vinden. Han ville bevise, at han på den simple flåde kunne nå fjerne Stillehavsøer 8.000 kilometer væk.

"True Grit" er en samling af ekstraordinære autentiske fortællinger om mennesker, der nægtede at give op og præsterede at overleve ekstreme situationer mod alle odds.
