IMDb 7.2 Metacritic 67 RT 83%

If you want raw, kinetic 80s action with genuine stakes and stellar performances from Jon Voight and Eric Roberts, **watch this tonight** — it's a taut, expertly crafted thriller that doesn't waste a second and delivers exactly what the premise promises. Andrei Konchalovsky's direction elevates what could've been a B-movie into something genuinely gripping, and the claustrophobic setting of a runaway train in a frozen wasteland creates relentless tension.

Plot

A hardened convict and a younger prisoner escape from a brutal prison in the middle of winter only to find themselves on an out-of-control train with a female railway worker while being pursued by the vengeful head of security.
