This week on Scene it Lately, Jason Davidson and Dave Williams scale new cinematic heights with the high-stakes, high-altitude action flick Cliffhanger. Sylvester Stallone trades gloves for climbing gear in this adrenaline-pumping thriller set in the unforgiving Rocky Mountains—where every ledge means danger and every fall could be fatal.

In segments like “The Vertical Venture,” “Stallone on the Edge,” and “Gravity’s Pull,” Jason and Dave dig into the film’s jaw-dropping stunts, the emotional baggage of mountain rescue, and the pure ‘90s action energy that keeps this movie hanging on. They also explore how the film’s breathtaking visuals and practical effects hold up today, and what lessons—ethical or otherwise—can be drawn from cliffside crime and reluctant heroism.

Whether you're here for the icy suspense or just a nostalgic return to shredded Stallone, this episode will have you gripping your armrests and reconsidering your next hike. Strap in—it’s a wild climb!
