Description of this Cliffhanger Movie Poster
Cliffhanger is a 1993 American action film directed and co-produced by Renny Harlin, co-written by and starring Sylvester Stallone alongside John Lithgow, Michael Rooker, and Janine Turner. Based on a concept by mountaineer John Long, the film follows Gabe (Stallone), a mountaineer who becomes involved in the robbery of a U.S. Treasury plane crossing the Rocky Mountains. The film premiered at the 1993 Cannes Film Festival and was released in the United States on May 28, 1993, by TriStar Pictures. It grossed $255 million worldwide.
Rangers Gabriel “Gabe” Walker and his girlfriend Jessie Deighan are sent to rescue their friend Hal Tucker and his girlfriend, Sarah, after Hal injures his knee and strands them on a peak in the Colorado Rockies. While attempting to rescue Sarah, part of her harness breaks. Although Gabe manages to grab her, her gloved hand slips and she falls to her death. Hal accuses Gabe of being responsible for Sarah’s death, and Gabe, overcome with guilt, takes an extended leave of absence.
Eight months later, Gabe returns to the ranger station to gather his last belongings and persuade Jessie to leave with him. They then receive a distress call from a group of stranded climbers. Hal sets out to find the climbers, and Jessie is able to persuade Gabe to help them. Hal remains bitter toward Gabe about Sarah’s death, even threatening to push him off a ledge. When they reunite with the climbers, they discover the distress call was a fake and are taken prisoner by a ruthless gang of international thieves led by the psychopathic former military intelligence agent Eric Qualen. The surviving thieves are the brutal Kynette, the sadistic Delmar, and the pilot Kristel. Qualen, along with U.S. Treasury agent Richard Travers, managed to steal three suitcases filled with uncirculated bills worth over $100 million from a McDonnell Douglas DC-9 during a mid-air transfer to a Lockheed Jetstar. Their escape plan backfired when a presumed-to-be-dead FBI agent shot at the hydraulic system and damaged it, sending their plane crashing into the mountain. They now need Gabe and Hal’s help to locate the suitcases using locator beacons.
At gunpoint, Hal and Gabe lead them to the first briefcase, located high up a sheer rock face. Gabe is tied up and forced to climb the wall to reach the briefcase, but when Qualen plans to have Gabe killed once he has the briefcase, Hal warns him not to come back down. Before Delmar can pull him back and aim a gun at him, Qualen orders Kynette and one of the robbers to try to pull him down, prompting Gabe to cut the rope. Qualen orders one of the robbers to open fire on Gabe, causing an avalanche that kills Holden, one of their members. When they see the money from the first case disappear, Qualen assumes Gabe is dead and orders Hal to guide them forward. Gabe searches for Jessie in an abandoned cabin and retrieves mountaineering gear to reach the second case before Qualen does. Night falls on the mountain, and when Qualen arrives, Gabe and Jessie have emptied the suitcase and left only a single note reading “Want to make a trade?” Qualen orders his men to split up, and one of them, Ryan, spots Gabe and Jessie before trying to shoot them; however, Gabe blinds him, dropping the assault rifle before tackling the man on a snowy slope. After sending Ryan flying, both groups take cover: Gabe and Jessie burn the money to keep warm and fall asleep.
In the early morning, Gabe and Jessie decide to beat Qualen on the latest case. Elsewhere, when Hal spots two friends, Evan and Brett, he leads them away before Qualen orders his men to open fire. Brett is killed and Evan is wounded, but he manages to escape the mountain and parachute to safety. Frank, with no news from Gabe or the others, explores the mountain by helicopter, spots Evan’s parachute, and manages to get him to safety while contacting the authorities. After Gabe impales Kynette on a stalactite in a cavern after luring him, he attempts to call Frank, their rescue helicopter pilot, for help on one of the mercenaries’ radios, but Hal alerts him to the explosives Qualen has set up above them on the mountain. Gabe and Jessie escape the falling debris in time. Meanwhile, the mercenaries signal Frank in the helicopter, but by the time he realizes it’s a trap, it’s too late and he’s shot dead by Delmar. While hugging Frank’s body, Hal surreptitiously takes Frank’s knife. As the mercenaries split up to look for the last case, Hal manages to use the knife to stab Delmar, kill him with his own shotgun, and flee. Travers sees Gabe and gives chase. While on the surface of a frozen river, Travers observes Gabe under the ice and attempts to kill him, but Gabe uses his slaughter gun to shoot Travers, and his lifeless body is swept away by the river’s current.
However, at the same time, Qualen takes Jessie hostage when she signals the helicopter to stop, believing Frank was piloting it. Qualen radios Gabe and Hal that he is holding Jessie captive aboard the helicopter, demanding that Gabe and Hal deliver the money from the third case to a high-up meeting point, and threatens to kill her if they refuse to cooperate. Gabe and Hal agree, and they meet on a cliffside bridge; however, Qualen attempts to defy Gabe throws the briefcase into the helicopter, but when he again threatens to kill Jessie, Gabe orders Qualen to release her a safe distance from the cliff. Qualen reluctantly agrees and uses a winch to lower Jessie to the ground. Once Jessie is safe, Gabe throws the bag of money into the helicopter’s rotors, shredding the money. Enraged, Qualen attempts to use the helicopter to kill Gabe, but Gabe has used the winch cable to attach the helicopter to a steel ladder on the cliff; Hal arrives and helps by shooting the helicopter down. The ladder breaks, leaving Gabe and Qualen atop the helicopter’s wreckage, dangling from the cable. Gabe fights Qualen and manages to get to safety as the wreckage detaches from the cable and falls to the bottom of the mountain, killing Qualen. Gabe reunites with Jessie and Hal as they are found by Treasury agents. led by Walter Wright aboard a helicopter, arranging for a rescue helicopter to be dispatched. The trio is seen sitting on top of a mountain, reminiscent of Gabe, Hal, and Sarah at the beginning.
