Runaway Train (1985) starring Jon Voight, Eric Roberts, Rebecca De Mornay. Convicts Manny and Buck (Voight and Roberts) escape from a maximum-security prison. With the dim-witted Buck in tow, Manny jumps a freight train -- only to find that the engineer has died of a heart attack, and the train is a runaway train. Manny and Buck's only hope is Sara, the engineer's assistant (De Mornay), who is still on the train with them. The action scenes and special effects are pretty darn thrilling. As Leonard Maltin says, it's an existential action movie. Voight and Roberts were both nominated for acting Oscars. The subtitles are good. Grade: B+
