Cliffhanger (1993) is an action-packed thriller directed by Renny Harlin and starring Sylvester Stallone as Gabe Walker, a seasoned mountain climber and former rescue ranger. The film opens with a tragic accident in which Gabe's girlfriend, Jessie (played by Janine Turner), dies during a dangerous rescue mission. Devastated by the loss, Gabe retires from mountain rescue operations and moves away from the mountains. However, when a botched heist involving a plane carrying a fortune in cash takes place in the Rocky Mountains, Gabe is reluctantly pulled back into action.
The film's antagonist, Eric Qualen (played by John Lithgow), leads a group of thieves who hijack a plane filled with money and crash it in the mountains. Gabe, who is recruited by the FBI to help retrieve the stolen money, must confront his past, survive dangerous terrain, and battle the ruthless criminals. As the action unfolds, Gabe must navigate treacherous cliffs, freezing weather, and relentless pursuit from the criminals, all while trying to make amends with his past.
With breathtaking mountaintop action sequences, Cliffhanger is known for its adrenaline-pumping stunts, high-altitude thrills, and intense suspense. The film's climactic moments are filled with heart-stopping moments as Gabe faces off with the criminals, culminating in a dramatic, life-or-death struggle in the icy wilderness.
Stallone delivers a strong performance as the rugged and tortured hero, and the film’s mix of high-octane action and emotional drama made it a box office success. Cliffhanger became a cult favorite and remains one of the most iconic action films of the early 1990s.
