Into the Sky (Ekuostian: sbiòdyebiòrut; IPA: /sbyːd̪jebjerud̪/) is a Barradiwan/Juhash/Veridian historical drama film directed by Kotru Galbarím and written by Otímsu Yotrákár. It stars Nozrad Tienziü, _, _, and Purut Artatáw (among others). The film covers the lives of the climbers in the 1942 Barradiwan Xiamángmú expedition, depicting events both before and after the expedition takes place. Later events in the story also partly cover the Great Ekuosian War, particularly the Amalo Campaign and specifically from the points of view of both Eskumrád Enídbrád and Armij Darč.
The film, which premiered in several countries on 14 August 2017 to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the expedition, has gained widespread critical acclaim from media publications both domestically and globally, and the film has garnered massive box office returns since its release, raking in $133 million within the opening weekend alone.

Critical response
Controversy
There has been much controversy surrounding the film and its liberal depiction of the relationship between the climbers, particularly Enídbrád and Darč: the film portrays the two as star-crossed lovers doomed to separation via tragic historical events despite Enídbrád's frequent assertions that they were pen pal friends and not much more whilst she was alive. Many accuse the filmmakers of altering the dynamic between the two in light of Enídbrád's demise in 2012 shortly before the film was greenlighted by the studios.
