Doug Hansen, an American climber and postal worker, tragically lost his life during the 1996 Mount Everest Disaster. Hansen, dubbed “mailman” due to his occupation, joined Rob Hall’s Adventure Consultants team with the aim of summiting Everest that season. Regrettably, the expedition took a disastrous turn. This was due to a combination of factors, including poor decision-making, a severe blizzard, and unforeseen delays.

In 2015, Universal Studios released the commercially successful film “Everest“. It featured featuring star-studded cast including Jason Clarke, John Hawkes, Keira Knightley, Jake Gyllenhaal, and Michael Kelly.

The movie was based on real events and went on to achieve a worldwide box office gross of $203 million. In the film, John Hawkes portrayed Doug Hansen, the determined mailman who conquered Mount Everest.
