Runaway Train (1985, 87%)
Jon Voight and Eric Roberts were both nominated for Academy Awards for their work in this tense thriller about a pair of prison escapees who make a quick getaway on a speeding train, only to discover its engineer is dead, and it’s barreling towards derailment. Fun fact: legendary Japanese director Akira Kurosawa penned the original script, which was shelved for a decade and a half due to financing difficulties.
