Over the Top

Sylvester Stallone heads the cast as Lincoln Hawk, a long-haul trucker hoping to reunite with the son (David Mendenhall) he abandoned years earlier and left in the care of his wife, Christina -- who's now terminally ill. Standing in Hawk's way is the boy's unforgiving grandfather (Robert Loggia), a man determined to retain custody of his grandson after Christina dies ... and will succeed unless Hawk wins the prize money in an arm-wrestling contest.
