I thought there was a previous movie with a similar premise!

They could combine that idea with the "runaway bride" idea. They could have a train for people who decide not to go through with the wedding. "Runaway Train" would be a good name for such a train. Of course, that train could be for all sorts of runaways - criminals, kids, parents, people with too many bills. Boy, this could be a great movie. Imagine the interactions among all these people running away from something! 😂

It's a small world! I had a somewhat similar experience while operating a 'yard switch engine', plus it was after dark! My brakeman didn't fully set the manual brake when we had to place several box cars on the main switch line. The line had a very slight incline. Once uncoupled, the cars started to roll towards the street! The brakeman had to RUN to catch up to it, and then finish setting the break... Fortunately, it didn't quite get to the street. I was the 'engine' operator.

Another movie with a similar plot is the 1985 movie Runaway Train starring a young Jon Voight, Eric Roberts and Rebecca DeMornay. The plot involves 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. The locale is Alaska! This film received very favorable reviews and is based on a screenplay originally written in 1960 by Akira Kurosawa.

This film is currently streaming for free on Plutotv.com: https://pluto.tv/en/on-demand/movies/5ee00797f50163001ad10a84?utm_medium=deeplink&utm_source=justwatch

Another good one is "Runaway Train," with Jon Voight - not as good, though.

Sorry to disagree but "Runaway Train" was far better due to a more layered and nuanced script and outstanding acting.
Everyone to their own thing, tho.

Wasn't he the bad guy in training day? Some actors specify that they will not play the bad guy.


Yes, he was the “dirty” cop. He got an academy award for training day… after having many better movies where he should have gotten an award
