Eight months later, he returns to see if his girlfriend wants to join him. Meanwhile, while Sly is packing his shit, an exciting mid-air robbery happens onboard a government airplane. Long story short, three suitcases containing $100 million in cash are accidentally dropped at various locations around the mountain range. The bad guys (John Lithgow and company) make a fake rescue call and then kidnap Sly and fellow rock jock Michael Rooker in order to force them to climb and get the suitcases. Things don't go as planned.
For an older action movie, CLIFFHANGER looks surprisingly good and is pretty exciting. Beautiful scenery, steady pace, a bunny rabbit, endearingly cheesy 90's special effects, awesome stunts and a impressive supporting cast including John Lithgow who does a good job as the bad guy despite having an annoying accent, burning stacks of money to keep warm despite literally being…in a forest.
Recommended for fans of older action movies.
