Handlingen i Stanley Kubricks kultklassiker er lagt til "The Overlook Hotel", hvor forfatterspiren Jack Torrance blir ansatt som vaktmester for å passe på hotellet over vinteren. Han blir fortalt at det er vanlig at hotellet snør inne i løpet av vinteren, så han og familien må regne med å være totalt isolert i flere måneder. Dette er akkurat hva Jack tror han trenger for å finne inspirasjon og ro til å skrive en ny bok. Sammen med sin kone og sitt barn drar han opp til hotellet like før vinterstengingen for å inntre i jobben. Men etterhvert som tiden går blir han hjemsøkt av fortidens spøkelser og drives etterhvert fullstendig fra vettet.

In the shady campgrounds of Yosemite valley, climbers carved out a counterculture lifestyle of dumpster-diving and wild parties that clashed with the conservative values of the National Park Service. And up on the walls, generation after generation has pushed the limits of climbing, vying amongst each other for supremacy on Yosemite's cliffs. "Valley Uprising" is the riveting, unforgettable tale of this bold rock climbing tradition in Yosemite National Park: half a century of struggle against the laws of gravity -- and the laws of the land.

In 1970, ‘The Wall of Early Morning Light’ was an unthinkable climb. For larger-than-life climbing legends Warren ‘Batso’ Harding and Dean Caldwell, it represented a near impossible physical and mental challenge. For iconoclast Batso, it also offered one last chance to stick it to the naysayers who thought him too old, too out of touch, and too crazy. For novice Dean, it was a way to see beyond his 9-5 existence and unlock the awesome potential of the human spirit. What began as an almost farcical exercise became one of the great underdog stories in the history of the sport. The estimated 10-day climb stretched into a 28-day marathon of grit and determination which sparked a media sensation.
