The Plot…

Becky (Currey), her husband Dan (Gooding) and their best friend Shiloh (Gardner) are free climbing a mountain when Dan slips and falls to his death.

A year passes.

Becky quit climbing.  She drinks too much and sometimes thinks of ending it all.  Shiloh is now an internet star.  She livestreams her daring climbs.  Shiloh visits Becky and hoping to end her depression invites Becky to join her on a climb.  Shiloh plans to scale a 2,000 foot decommissioned television tower that sits in a remote desert location.

Becky reluctantly agrees.  Both women are having such a blast climbing that they miss some danger signs.  They make it to the top of the tower.  Then a mishap sends the only ladder crashing down.  Stuck 2,000 feet on a small perch in the middle of nowhere… what chance do they have?

Thoughts (beware of spoilers)…

Fall was surprisingly good.  You’re almost guaranteed to get sweaty palms and stomach butterflies.

Jeffrey Dean Morgan’s role is so small it’s more of a cameo.

Fall (2022) rates 4 of 5 stars.
