Amazon.com:
Cliffhanger was a 1994 comeback of sorts for action hero Sylvester Stallone, this time thanks to director Renny Harlin (Die Hard 2 and Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master) and some spectacularly rugged and vertigo-inducing high-mountain terrain. The opening sequence alone delivers what the title promises, and there's a doozy of an airplane stunt that was later reprised, with modifications, in Air Force One. Stallone, looking as tough and craggy as the mountains themselves, is a rescue climber who finds himself going after a gang of crooks (headed by John Lithgow in his bad-guy mode) who've hijacked a U.S. Treasury plane and crash landed in the Rockies (played by the Italian Dolomites) with millions of bucks. --Jim Emerson

Average Rating: 
Rating: - Flaws aplenty...but the action is so solid that it makes this film well worth a look!
It's been a dozen or more years since I last saw CLIFFHANGER, but on a whim the other night, I took a new look at it. Boy, times have sure changed!
This exciting action-adventure was made before backgrounds could be computer generated. I remember that when it came out, it seemed fresh, gritty and realistic. Now it is painfully easy to see how many of the scenes are played against fake backgrounds made of Styrofoam, or worse yet, against blue screens. When characters are flying in ... Read More
Rating:  - Why? Ehh...
I really wanted to like this movie. I rock climb, and I love Stallone movies, but I gotta know if anyone else thought the overuse of the F-word got obnoxious. For the first thirty minutes or so I was like, "OK whatever, the word does sound pretty hard core I guess." An hour later when they were still throwing it around like tomatoes at the La Tomatina festival, I wanted to turn it off and didn't for the sake of seeing how it ended. The action is GREAT! My only complaint is with the F-bombs. Oh, ... Read More
Rating:  - Cliffhanger review
I read the reviews for this movie here before I bought it for cheap. Based on the reviews, I was not expecting it to be as good as it was. I am a Stallone fan, so that will influences my review. I watched the first scene or two and turned it off. I thought the movie was going in a direciton that would be boring, so I waited until I was bored to watch the rest of it. I was pleasantly surprised. It was different than I expected, with twists and surprises. The other characters -- good ones and bad ... Read More
Rating: - Cliffhanger
Outstanding action and tension. One of the reasons I bought the movie is because of my fear of heights, and the opening scene in the movie, which makes me squeemish, however you spell it.
Rating: - Pretty good
I am a sucker for Stallone movies and this one met my expectations. For one thing, the movie took place outside and we all got to see mountain climbing prowess of all the actors. The other important factor in this movie for me was that, there was a huge amount of money involved (of course that was stolen from the government) by a evil, twisted, John Lithgow-wow, can he act evil--even shoots his girlfriend in the head!!!
Anyway, movie is a climb to the top of a huge mountain to save climbing crew ... Read More
