The movie stars Denzel Washington (Glory, Training Day), Chris Pine (Star Trek in 2009, Bottle Shock), Rosario Dawson (He Got Game, Men in Black 2), and Ethan Suplee (My Name is Earl)
Washington and Pine play conductors who try and track down a runaway train. Dawson plays someone who works in the "traffic controol" for the train company. And by the way the train has toxic material. Suplee is responsible for "loosing" the train.
As a general rule I dont like movies based on real events. This is an exception I rated it as a B. I would say rent it or stream it. Maybe I thought it was good because the events took place over a few hours (may be 12 hours may be a guess) unstead of a movie like 13 days that take place over more time. They had less things to cover. The movie does a good job of going a little bit into the "real" lives of the characters. How many liberties with the events and characters I don't know.
Again this is a movie so events may be fictionalized but it goes into how detached management can be when they are not in the field dealing how things really work in the real world.
