Synopsis
This bizarre entry into the disaster film genre concerns a group of hapless passengers aboard a transcontinental luxury train who are infected with a viral plague by a group of terrorists.
Burt Lancaster
plays military man Mackenzie, who wants to send the train across a rickety bridge so all the passengers will die, with Mackenzie reasoning the tragedy will give the terrorist movement a bad name. Among the passengers on the train trying to build up antibodies are Jennifer Rispoli Chamberlain (
Sophia Loren
); Nicole (
Ava Gardner
), who is embroiled in an affair with a younger man named Robby Navarro (
Martin Sheen
); and Dr. Jonathan Chamberlain (
Richard Harris
), a physician who wants to save the passengers but ends up duking it out with the terrorists. ~ Paul Brenner, All Movie Guide
