There are so many reasons, you really should provide more info. First, what kind of car is it? Is it overheating? Because it could be the vehicles computer stradegy shutting down the engine to protect it. Does the car feel like it's running out of gas? The fuel pump could be failing when it gets hot. Does the car suddenly cut off, like someone turned the key off? It could be the ignition system failing when hot.

What causes car to stall when it gets hot?

A car engine is made with many moving parts that fit together very precisely. When these parts get hot, they expand, but they do not all expand to exactly the same degree. So parts which fit in a certain temperature range, will cease to fit in a higher temperature range. That is why the car will stall if it gets too hot. If the radiator is working correctly, the engine will never get too hot.
