Two escaped convicts and a female railway worker find themselves trapped on a train with no brakes and nobody driving.
Based on a screenplay by Akira Kurosawa this simple story story turns out to be an enormously exciting and captivating thriller.
Halliwell*: "Violent, foul-mouthed melodrama with no interest beyond breathtaking photography of the speeding train. Its general pretentiousness, perhaps, is also something to experience."
Maltin***: "A rare bird, this film: an existential action movie!...Tough, violent, with hair-raising action footage and a superb characterization by Voight in his most atypical role to date."
