この映画について

Tearing up the tracks at 100 miles-per-hour, Runaway Train features hair-raising footage and spectacular Oscar®-nominated performances by Jon Voight ("Coming Home") and Eric Roberts ("The Pope of Greenwich Village"). Manny (Voight) is the toughest convict in a remote Alaskan prison who, along with fellow inmate Buck (Roberts), makes a daring breakout. Hopping a freight train, they head full steam for freedom, but when the engineer dies of a heart attack, they find themselves trapped, alone and speeding towards certain disaster. Until, that is, they discover a third passenger, beautiful railroad worker, Sara (Rebecca De Mornay, "The Hand That Rocks the Cradle"), who's just as desperate and just as determined to survive as they are. Beautifully shot by Alan Hume ("For Your Eyes Only"), with top-notch direction by Andrei Konchalovsky ("Maria's Lovers") and based on a screenplay by Akira Kurosawa ("The Seven Samurai").
