The Summit of the Gods (French: Le Sommet des Dieux) is a 2021 French-language animated adventure drama film based on the Japanese manga series of the same name by Jiro Taniguchi.

In 1924, British mountaineers George Mallory and Andrew Irvine attempted to climb Mount Everest and were never seen again.

Seventy years later, Makoto Fukamachi, a young Japanese reporter, encounters a mysterious mountain climber named Habu Joji, in whose hands Fukamachi thinks he sees Mallory's camera, which might reveal if Mallory and his companion really were the first to climb Everest.

Fukamachi becomes more obsessed with finding Habu and begins fitness training in preparation for mountaineering.
