Cliffhanger (1993) — "You want to kill me, don't you, Tucker? Well, get a number and get in line."

Stallone hangs by his fingertips in the Rockies, and Renny Harlin makes sure you feel every inch of the drop. Cliffhanger (1993) stars Sylvester Stallone as Gabe Walker, a mountain rescue climber pulled back to the peaks when John Lithgow's sneering Eric Qualen and his crew of thieves crash-land with a fortune in stolen cash. With Michael Rooker and Janine Turner along for the climb, we explore the edge-of-your-seat thrills, the breathtaking stunts, Stallone's performance, and why Cliffhanger remains a standout in '90s action cinema. Rod Lott of Flick Attack and Mike White of The Projection Booth join Chris Stachiw, the Doctor of Podcasting, to talk Renny Harlin, Sylvester Stallone, John Lithgow, and so much more.
