Overview
When a massive, unmanned locomotive roars out of control, the threat is more ominous than just a derailment. The train is laden with toxic chemicals, and an accident would decimate human life and cause an environmental disaster. The only hope of bringing the train to a safe stop is in the hands of veteran engineer Frank Barnes, and young conductor Will Colson, who must risk their lives to save those in the runaway's path. Inspired by true events.

Though it's a ridiculous ride, it offers the heightened pulse of a great race.

Of course it's implausible, but it's also consistently entertaining.

This isn't groundbreaking fare, mind you. But Unstoppable muscles through its story of peril with crafted intensity and a few well-placed grins.
Lisa Kennedy, Denver Post

There's a gut-level simplicity to "Unstoppable" that works despite all its cliches.
