The new take on the 1993 feature has a script by Mark Bianculli ('Hunters').
featured Stallone as Walker, a man haunted by a rescue gone wrong, who finds himself called up for a rescue with his former colleagues. That mission turns out to be a fake distress call, however, as a group of international thieves are in the midst of trying to find their stolen loot after a botched air heist. Metaphorical and literal cliffhanging ensues.
The 1993 movie was directed by Renny Harlin and was hit, despite a brutal production that almost bankrupt the lead production company, Carolco, which at two points couldn’t pay the crew.

Waugh, Ana Lily Amirpour, Chance Wright, Gianluca Chakra and Hisham Alghanim serve as executive producers.Cliffhanger was by far one of my favorite spectacles,” said Waugh in a statement. “To be at the helm of the next chapter, scaling the Italian Alps with the legend himself, Sylvester Stallone, is a dream come true. It’s going to be a great challenge and blast taking this franchise to new heights, a responsibility I don’t take lightly.”
