Cliffhanger

Dir. Renny Harlin. 1993, 113 mins. U.S. DCP. With Sylvester Stallone, John Lithgow, Janine Turner, Michael Rooker, Caroline Goodall. The spectacular, throat-gripping suspense of Renny Harlin’s Cliffhanger demands the big screen. A mid-career triumph for Stallone, this action thriller hit from the slam-bang summer of 1993 is a marvel of mountain climbing and aerial stunt coordination, opening with Rocky Mountains ranger Gabe’s nerve-jangling rescue gone awry. While trying to heal his own psychological wounds, Gabe becomes embroiled in a new crisis, when a former military intelligence operative (Lithgow) orchestrates a daring and deadly heist of more than 100 million dollars, the loot crash-landing in the Rockies. The film features the most expensive aerial stunt ever performed in its day, performed by legendary stuntman Simon Crane, who slid on a cable between two planes without safety wires.
