In the film the main characters Heinrich Harrer and Peter Aufschnaiter, played by Brad Pitt and David Thewlis, are mountaineering in British India (now Pakistan) and their German citizenship results in their imprisonment by the British in a camp in the Himalyan foothills. They escape prison and flee to Tibet where Harrer befriends the 14th Dalai Lama. The Dalai Lama becomes one of his tutors and a close friendship starts.

T. the Extra- Terrestrial, the Indiana Jones series, Jurassic Park, Schindler's List and the first three Harry Potter films.
