Cliffhanger (1993)

In Renny Harlin's action-thriller, with breathtaking scenery and helicopter shots:

• the opening, palm-sweating scene of stranded climber Sarah (Michelle Joyner) falling to her death into an abyss when her harness broke while attached to a taut steel cable thousands of feet above an abyss
• the vain attempt at a daring rescue by Gabe Walker (Sylvester Stallone), as she screamed: "I can't hold on..I don't want to die...I'm slipping...Please don't let me fall"
