Runaway Train (1985)
Ein Hochsicherheitsgefängnis in Alaska: Oscar „Manny“ Manheim sitzt lebenslänglich ein und gilt im Zuchthaus als Legende. Sehr zum Leidwesen des Direktors, der ihn schon lange auf dem Kieker hat. Gemeinsam mit dem jungen Buck, der wegen Vergewaltigung einsitzt, gelingt ihm eines Nachts die Flucht in die Kälte. Das ungleiche Gespann landet irgendwann in einem Zug, der quer durch Alaska fährt. Dessen Schaffner fällt allerdings nach kurzer Fahrt mit einem Herzstillstand von der Lok. Der eingeleitete Nothalt führt nur zu durchgebrannten Bremsen, nicht zur Verlangsamung. Während Manny und Buck denken, dass alles in Ordnung ist, versucht die Einsatzleitung den Zug irgendwie unter Kontrolle zu bringen – zumal der Plan ihn entgleisen zu lassen schnell zu den Akten gelegt wird, da sich die Bahnarbeiterin Sara noch an Bord befindet. Ohne jede Aussicht auf einen Stopp rast der Zug direkt auf eine Katastrophe zu …
