Cliffhanger is streaming on Netflix — and it’s not just a throwback. The 1993 Sylvester Stallone survival thriller, which never got a proper sequel despite its cult status, has officially landed on the platform as of November 2026. No fanfare, no announcement blitz. Just the movie, suddenly available, with Stallone’s signature grit intact.
The film, directed by Renny Harlin and built around a plane heist gone wrong in the Rockies, was a box office hit at the time, $255 million worldwide against a $70 million budget. Now, it’s getting a second life, not through a remake, but via streaming. And that timing? Not coincidental.
Collider reports that a full reboot is already in motion for 2027, with Pierce Brosnan set to play a veteran mountaineer taken hostage, while his daughter (Lily James) must scale the alpine peaks to save him. The plot sounds like Die Hard with ice and altitude. But here’s the twist: Stallone isn’t involved.
