Cliffhanger (1993)

★★★★☆

After a fatal rescue mission high above the Rocky Mountains, Gabe Walker is called back to the mountain rescue force when he is sent to rescue survivors of a downed airplane. Little do he and his bitter friend realize that the survivors are a group of violent thieves that crash-landed there after a mid-air height went wrong. Now, with three suitcases full of money spread out over the mountainous region, Gabe and his partner are forcefully tasked with finding the money despite the dangerous terrain. This is another great example of a fine action movie that not only leaves me with a sense of anticipation but also preserves and showcases the natural beauty of that region. Great action, a less-indestructible Stallone and a chilling performance by John Lithgow make this a must-see for any action fanatic.
