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 a veteran engineer (Denzel Washington) and a young conductor (Chris Pine), who must risk their lives to save those in the runaway's path. Inspired by true events.

Anthony J @jenkinsdraws Sep 30, 2026 Pure Hollywood, but that is not always a bad thing, good guys, bad guys, unrelenting action, impossible stunts and feel good ending. A couple of hours entertained. See more Robert P @Superbad Sep 28, 2026 Unstoppable = a *4* star Movie! See more P T @Donthepedaphile Sep 27, 2026 Great actors and acting, however the storyline and writing was really far fetched. See more shane O @Shanes_DVD_Shack Sep 10, 2026 Great action film , great action pace and a hero’s story . Would watch over and over See more Daniel K @RT68807165 Jun 23, 2026 Unstoppable is definetly something I’ll be recommending my friends to watch. I had seen a YouTube video or two about it. some like it, some don’t. me? oh, I love it. as a train and vehicle lover in general, Unstoppable is something that uses trains as the main villain and saviour, not some boring background object., which is amazing to see. the movie starts slow, like many. but then it properly picks up and the rest of the movie, you’re on the edge of your seat. the movie based on the Crazy Eights incident that happened in Ohio in 2001, and uses that concept to make a really good action movie. acting, writing and camera movement are all amazing. if you’re a vehicle lover, train enthusiast, or an action/edge-of-your-seat type of person, grab some popcorn and watch this. a great example of taking a normal object, like a train, doing the right things, and you have one hell of a movie. highly recommend. 5/5. See more Downriver R @Downriver Jun 16, 2026 One of the best movies I've ever seen. This is a heart pounding thriller that keeps you on the edge of your seat the entire movie. Masterclass in acting. Masterclass in story telling. See more Read all reviews
