MOVIES - Aug. 3, 1992
Real Action: It might have looked like a scene from a movie, but when five armed robbers wearing surgical masks and baseball caps appeared on the set of Sylvester Stallone’s movie “Cliffhanger,” they weren’t acting. The robbers took the equivalent of $180,000 in Italian lire from an office on the set in Rome on Friday.
