A handful of people are trapped in a cable car which gives them a lot of time to flashback on past events.
I have seen all of Irwin Allen's disaster movies and can say without question that this is his second worst disaster film ever made! Cave-In (1979) is his worst.
Irwin was a film maker about BIG ideas and big disasters so I can only guess he was totally out of ideas when he made a cable car flick!!
This four hour TV movie is slow and very boring. Only two things kept my attention - the music cues which stole from Lost In Space, Land of the Giants, Planet of the Apes and a short appearance from Land of the Giants cast member Deanna Lund. Everything else was terrible.
Hanging by a Thread is not often seen and talked about for good reason - it stinks!
