With an unmanned, half-mile-long freight train barreling toward a city, a veteran engineer and a young conductor race against the clock to prevent a catastrophe.

Denzel Washington knows how to pick his movies, and especially when its a true story. I have also been a fan of Chris Pine since Star Trek so I was looking forward to this fast paced adrenaline rush of a movie. Denzel comes off as the old guy teaching the new guy (Chris) how to operate a train in real life, and as thats going on a pair of idiots mess up a train move when it turns into a half mile long moving missile. The story is simple but you are kept at the edge of your seat wondering how they will use the laws of physics and these machines to slow and stop this catastrophe. You get the story of the guys on the train, their different lives, and things pick up with this train as solution after solution doesn’t work. Action, Suspense and a good amount of wit thrown into a good story!
