Runaway Train

Zavvi - The Home of Pop CultureDESPERATE AND DETERMINED TO SURVIVETwo convicts break out of Stonehaven Prison in the dead of winter, boarding a freight train with the intention of getting as far away as possible before their notoriously sadistic warden finds out. But the brakes fail and the driver has a heart attack, sending hundreds of tons of metal hurtling through the snowy Alaskan wastes at terrifying and unstoppable speed.Based on a script by Akira Kurosawa (Seven Samurai), with hardboiled prison slang added by real-life ex-con Edward Bunker (Mr Blue in Reservoir Dogs), this riveting thriller also boasts Oscar-nominated performances from Jon Voight and Eric Roberts with Voight playing spectacularly against type as a criminal so vicious that he served much of his sentence welded into his cell.Combining electrifying action with constant psychological tension (the only surviving member of the train crew is a young, inexperienced woman), Runaway Train is one of cinema's great thrill-rides.SPECIAL FEATURES:High Definition Blu-ray presentation of the filmOriginal Uncompressed Stereo AudioOptional English SDH Subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearingRunning on Empty An Interview with director Andrei KonchalovskyFrom Thespian to Fugitive Star Jon Voight shares his memories of his Academy Award-nominated roleSweet and Savage: Eric Roberts recalls his Academy Award-nominated performanceThe Calm Before the Chaos Co-star Kyle T.
