Unstoppable

“1,000,000 tons. 100,000 lives. 100 minutes.”

Frank Barnes (Denzel Washington), a veteran engineer, and Will Colson (Chris Pine), a young conductor, just want to get through another shift on the rails. Then an unmanned freight train loaded with toxic chemicals rolls out of its yard, and the two men go after it. Tony Scott, working from the real CSX 8888 incident, keeps the film on what happens when ordinary working people have to be the ones to act.
