Seven Years in Tibet (1997)

In 1939, Austrian mountaineer Heinrich Harrer sets off for the Himalayas, leaving his family behind to lead an expedition. However, with the onset of World War II, the proud Harrer is captured by Allied forces and becomes a prisoner of war. Determined to regain his freedom, he escapes alongside a fellow captive and journeys to Lhasa, Tibet. There, he encounters the 14-year-old Dalai Lama, whose friendship profoundly changes Harrer’s perspective on life.
