A train keeps moving after a mistake of two conductors and keeps going faster. It is heading to a city and fall out a very curvy corner. But it comes worse: the train is loaded with toxic material, and other trains are coming right at it...
The movie is inspired by true story of a train who, on the 15th may 2001, drove 100km through Ohio without a conductor. But this movie is set up in Pennsylvania and the characters are invented.
This movie is different as other Tony Scott movies it is not a typical hollywood-movie, though some parts were very clichéd and even physically impossible, it is based on a real happening and Tony Scott really filmed it, like it was real. Still it reminded me sometimes of "Taking of Pelham 123"
Washington and Pine are solid. The script is good. The characters are well developed, the dialogue good and it had a good subplot.
It was Tony Scott's last movie and I think it was a successful one.
RIP Tony
