Unstoppable

 

Train 777, half a mile long and carrying toxic chemicals, is headed toward a small town of Stanton, Pennsylvania at an accelerating speed. The train is unmanned and “unstoppable” because some worker thought he could jump off the train to switch the tracks and jump back on, but he was too slow to get back on. It is then up to veteran engineer Frank Barnes (Denzel Washington) and a young conductor (Chris Pine) to prevent a catastrophe by racing to catch this train before it reaches the city.

 

What is there not to like about this movie? You’ve got a high speed train loaded with toxic chemicals about to run into a town that will be completely destroyed if the train reaches it. I enjoyed this movie very much because you get to see the technical background of running a train station. This movie shows real shots of trains and explosions without computer-generated imagery (CGI). If you want an intense and suspenseful movie that will have you at the edge of your seat, check this movie out.
