OVER THE TOP 1987 (WARNERS)

A Cannon action film starring Sylvester Stallone.

Stallone stars as Lincoln Hawk, a truck driver that is trying to win back his son after leaving him and his mother. His son, Michael (David Mendenhall) is a spoiled brat attending military school and living with his ultra rich grandfather played by Robert Loggia.

Hawk comes to Michael's graduation and picks him up in a semi truck. This is all planned by Mike's mother Christina (Susan Blakely) who is in the last stages of a ternimal illness and wants the father and child to make amends.

Grandpa Cutler has other ideas however and makes every attempt to stop Hawk. Hawk is also trying to compete in the International Arm Wrestling Tournement in Las Vegas.

Stallone didn't want to make this film, but he was offered so much money by Cannon Films he finally said yes and thought the film would never be seen anyway.

It's really no worse than millions of other movies and who knows, you might like it, I did.

The rest of the cast includes Terry Funk, Rick Zumwalt and Bruce Way.
