Editorial Review:
SHE WAS AN INEXPERIENCED CLIMBER, SHE TRUSTED HIM TO RESCUE HER.BUT SOMETHING WENT WRONG HIGH ABOVE THE VALLEY FLOOR, AND GABEHAS BEEN BLAMING HIMSELF FOR HER DEATH EVER SINCE. UNABLE TODEAL WITH THE TRAGEDY, HE QUITS HIS JOB WITH THE ROCKY MOUNTAIN RESCUE TEAM. NOW HE MUST RETURN TO THOSE DREADED PEAKS.
Description of Cliffhanger (Superbit Collection):
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. Outrageous action-packed, snow-packed, and scenery-packed chase sequences (featuring whirring helicopters, whooshing skis, popping gunfire, and clanging pitons that earned the movie Oscar nominations for sound and sound editing) take full advantage of the digital video disc's Dolby Digital 5.1 sound. --Jim Emerson
Cliffhanger (Superbit Collection) Reviews:
One of Stallone's better 90's movies 7.5/10 part 2 on Cliffhanger/Vertical Limit double feature reviews 
2009-12-14 - This was Stallone's comeback so to speak in the early 90's Stallone had done Rocky V which was a forgettable sequel Stop or my Mom will shoot which is f*****g awful. But Cliffhanger was a a good movie starring Sylvester Stallone as Mountain Rescue Climber Gabe Walker Jonathon Lithgow as Eric Qualen Micheal Rooker as Mountain Rescue Climber Hal Tucker Janine Turner as Jessie Deighan Michell Joyner as Sarah & Paul Winfield as Special Agent Walter Wright. Story you start off with Gabe, Hal & Sarah & Sarah is an inexperienced mountain climber while moving mountain top to helicopter Sarah's harness breaks Gabe tries to save her but is unsuccessful & she falls to her death Gabe leaves the Rocky Mountain area because of guilt. 8 months later he comes back to get his Girlfriend Jessie but she doesn't want to leave. Meanwhile there is a plane with millions of dollars on it when they do the plane to plane transfer (which is cool) 1 of the agents fight back the planes crash & they send out a distress signal.
Exciting !
2009-12-14 - The plot is a little weak, but the action is excellent.
Buy used and you will get your money's worth.
CLIFF HANGER 
2009-06-17 - 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.
Hold on baby! 
2009-02-22 - 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 
2009-02-09 - From the beginning where the belt buckle is obviously sawed almost in half the movie just goes down hill.
