Plot: In Cliffhanger, Sylvester Stallone plays Gabe Walker, a member of a mountain-climbing rescue team. Gabe is haunted by an incident from his past when he couldn't save the girlfriend of his best friend, Hal Tucker (Michael Rooker), from falling to her death. As the story begins, Gabe has left mountain-climbing rescue work and has set up business in Denver. He returns to the mountain rescue office to persuade his lover, Jessie (Janine Turner), to quit and come back to Denver with him. While he is begging Jessie to head out to Denver, things are happening in the skies overhead. A gang of professional crooks headed by psychotic Eric Qualen (John Lithgow) has hijacked a U.S. Treasury plane carrying millions of dollars. But the plane crashes, and the bad guys find themselves stranded on top of a mountain with the money (put into three cases) scattered around the wreckage and with no way to get down off the pinnacle to retrieve the cases. They put in a phony distress call that is received by the mountain rescue team. Gabe agrees to take part in one last rescue attempt, and they head up to help rescue the thieves. But Qualen has plans for the rescuers -- to force them to climb through the dangerous snow-covered peaks to find the three suitcases of cash. ~ Paul Brenner, All Movie Guide

CLIFF HANGER
Added 6/17/2009

A VERY GOOD MOVIE DESPITE SOME DRAWBACKS. STALLONE CAN'T ACT, AND LOOKS WORSE WITH AN OTHERWISE GOOD CAST. SOME OF THE SETS LOOKED FAKEY.

This is a great movie, one I can enjoy more now that surround sound and large TV's are around. An oldie but a Goodie :)

a bad movie
Added 2/9/2009

From the beginning where the belt buckle is obviously sawed almost in half the movie just goes down hill.

The Bottom Line:

A preposterous movie about people in teeshirts climbing up and down snowy mountains with a cardboard-cutout performance by Stallone in the lead and a generic villain, Cliffhanger does not deserve to be watched, owned, or recommended.

The Steroidal Mountain Climber
Added 12/28/2008

Stallone is unbelievable as a bodybuilder/mountain climber. He doesn't look like a mountain climber. He does climb like a mountain climber and he stinks as an actor. And the one bad guy who screams ever line of his ("FETCH") is really irritating along with the stereotypical British accent bad buy stolen straight from Die Hard. This movie is just Stallone garbage. I only wished that Michael Rooker would have reverted to his Henry Portrait of a Serial Killer character and that he would have stabbed Stallone in the eyeball with a hair dressers teasing comb and then ate his big stOOpid head.

A Classic from Stallone
Added 9/2/2009

No more to say, if you've seen it, you know it's a classic on Sylvester Stallone's work

Great 90's Stallone if you're into that kind of thing
Added 1/15/2009

This is one of those movies that motivated Last Action Hero to be made. That being said, it's a great representation of the genre. If you like the 90's action movies, this one should be a classic. It's got a good idea, and a fun premise. I'll admit, it probably isn't for everybody...but I really enjoyed it. If it's not too expensive you should at least give it a chance.

Space and beyond.
Added 9/18/2008

Demolition Man starring Sylvester Stallone and Wesley Snipes is pretty far out in terms of storyline and science fiction. Thank goodness for Sandra Bullock! Without her spunk and likability, this film would be just another stinker. The gadgets and costumes keep this movie worth watching but otherwise than that, it's ultimately a film not to be taken to seriously. Good luck!
