The following video was both the theme song for the Sylvester Stallone armwrestling movie Over the Top and one of the most notable solo hits of eventual Van Halen frontman Sammy Hagar.
Also known as Meet Me Halfway, the film follows Lincoln Hawk, a Rocky-like down-on-his-luck trucker who is trying to work his way up in the world of professional armwrestling.
In another theme that pervades Stallone films, he is trying to win back the respect of his son.
The film (and the video) feature the late Rick Zumwalt, a real-world armwrestling legend who played the villain across from Stallone, who also makes an appearance in the music video. The film also includes Robert Loggia (Scarface, Independence Day) in a strong supporting role.
