Description:
Tearing up the track at 100 miles-per-hour, Runaway Train features hair-raising footage (Leonard Maltin) and spectacular, OscarÂ(r)-nominated* performances by Jon Voight and Eric Roberts. Packed with action, suspense and a powerful climax that will sweep you away (The New YorkDaily News), Runaway Train is an intense...stunning...astonishing (Roger Ebert) super-thriller! Manny (Voight) is the toughest convict in a remote Alaskan prison who, along with fellow inmate Buck (Roberts), makes a daring breakout. Hopping a freight train, they head full-steam for freedom, but when the engineer dies of a heart attack, they find themselves trapped, alone and speeding toward certain disaster. Until, that is, they discover a third passenger, a beautiful railroad worker (Rebecca DeMornay) who's just as desperateand just as determined to surviveas they are! *1985: Actor (Voight), Supporting Actor (Roberts)

I saw this many years ago and found it on sale recently. It is a superb movie, one of the best! The scenery is breath-taking, the plot rivoting, acting is top notch, and has a startling ending.

Though the language is expectedly abrupt (for a prison flick), the acting and directing are exceptional. The plot holds well and should leave the viewer deeply pensive to Kurosawa's motives of who/what is good or evil in our journeys in life.

This is a tremendous movie, pared down to a simple but pulsating plot. You end up caring for the escaped prisoners more than the law enforcement guys chasing them. Voight, Sarandon, De Mornay are all spot-on. The final image of Voight on top of the train is a classic.
Rating: -
Though the railroad headquarters scenes could've been a little less corny, the characters were spot-on believable. Their stress and absolute hysteria came out realistically in their journey to freedom. Voight was intimidating in a crazed sort of way, which scared me through the TV.

I had heard good things about Runaway Train and I like action-adventure movies--all the stars seemed to be aligned for my viewing of this John Voight/Eric Roberts 1985 flick. Unfortunately, while I didn't end up hating the movie or even disliking it necessarily, I was sincerely underwhelmed.
To describe the plot, the movie begins in an Alaskan maximum security prison. Oscar "Manny" Manheim (Jon Voight) has just been released from solitary confinement, much to the delight of Buck (Eric Roberts), ... Read More
