Hanging by a Wire

CriticsCritics: 69
AudienceAudience: 6.7

A group of teenagers travels to school in a makeshift cable car across a mountain pass in northwest Pakistan. When cables snap high above the ground, they face a terrifying fight to survive as rescuers race to help.

My take

You’ll like this if you favor tense, real-world survival stories with immediate stakes; Not for you if you prefer lighter viewing or character-driven dramas without sustained danger.
