The Summit takes viewers on an extraordinary journey as sixteen everyday Americans embark on a challenging trek through the formidable New Zealand Alps.
With a shared goal of reaching a distant mountain peak within 14 days, the group carries an equal share of a $1 million prize in their backpacks. However, the expedition quickly becomes a test of endurance and morality.
In the series premiere, the climbers encounter a medical emergency just hours into their journey, adding a sense of urgency and danger to their quest. As they tackle the treacherous terrain, they also face a daunting obstacle: crossing a ravine. With the Mountain’s Keeper tracking their progress and presenting them with difficult choices, the group’s fears intensify.
Will they succeed in their ambitious climb, or will the physical demands, moral dilemmas, and unexpected obstacles prove too much to overcome?
The Summit, premieres Sunday, September 29, 2024, at 9:00 PM on CBS.
