"Scream of Stone" is a 1991 film directed by Werner Herzog about a climbing expedition on Cerro Torre. The film was shot on location at Cerro Torre, with several scenes filmed close to the summit.

The script was written principally by longtime Herzog production designer Walter Saxer, based on an idea from mountaineer Reinhold Messner, who Herzog had worked with in his documentary "The Dark Glow of the Mountains". Herzog, who usually writes his own screenplays, believes that the script was weak, especially the dialogue, and says that he does not consider "Scream of Stone" to be his film.cite book
