A waste disposal company has a Russian nuclear bomb to transport, and an employee decides to save money by concealing it on a freight train.

This train is also loaded with hazardous and flammable chemicals including metallic sodium which spontaneously ignites on contact with water.

The train suffers a brake failure and becomes a runaway heading for Denver.

John Seger, a heroic NTSB investigator, boards the train and with the assistance of the railwaymen tries various ways to stop the train.

Several ideas are tried, such as coupling a following train to the caboose (the coupling mechanism on the caboose breaks), a derailing attempt (after it is revealed the catastrophe the chemicals would cause if ignited) in which a helicopter narrowly avoids being hit, and finally, an attempt at manually activating the brakes (via hitting a part of the engine mechanism with a wrench).

The final attempt works successfully, but is short-lived.

The following rescue train, unaware of the freight's slowing, speeds forward and crushes the caboose (killing an injured member in the process).

The force disengages the brakes, causing the train to speed up once again. Meanwhile, Denver residents are struggling to collect their families and then leave town, despite rioters and gridlock.

Realizing that there is no way to stop it, John and the conductor (who was initially reluctant) abandon the train by jumping off before it can speed up too much.

The train derails and becomes a terrific wreck.

Discovering the now highly unstable bomb on-board, firefighters struggle to put out the fire at the crash site.

The misinterpretation of a radio call to a water bombing helicopter leads it to dump its load onto the wreck. Water comes into contact with the metallic sodium, which explodes and in turn causes the nuclear bomb to detonate.

The blast causes severe damage throughout Denver and releases an electromagnetic pulse. No cars work, electricity is down and anything with a computer is shut down.

  • @BurlingtonNorthernRy Im going to post extended clips of the move. Check back on the YT account ELTIGREROCKS18NEW reguraly. Im creating a seprate account in case if stupid YouTube decideds to suspend the account.

  • This movie is so dumb. First off, when the air hoses separate, that applies the brakes! The air is what keep the brakes off of the wheel! Its set like that for safety reasons. If you hear about a derailment because of separated air hoses, it's usually the fact it has full brakes (emergency brake) when it's moving and can cause the cars the jack-knife due to their inertia. If there was ice in the hoses, that would mean no brakes. Since air cannot flow in or out. That still wouldn't lead to this.

  • "You know much about trains?" "They run on tracks right?" And this is why if such a scenario was to happen we'd be screwed. (FEMA pry wouldn't know that much)
