Unstoppable (2010)
Unstoppable (2010) is an American disaster action thriller film directed and produced by Tony Scott, with screenplay by Mark Bomback. At a classification yard in Northern Pennsylvania, Dewey, the train engineer for Allegheny and West Virginia Railroad (AWVR), faces trouble when trying to align the trailing-point switch by setting the throttles to idle. Due to a disconnected air hose, the lever automatically switches to full power, causing the lead engine 777 (Triple 7) to race down the mainline at top speed without anyone at the controls. Dewey immediately contacts yardmaster Connie Hooper for assistance while Gilleece, the conductor, makes a futile attempt to board the runaway train. Connie quickly notifies Oscar Galvin, VP of Train Operations, as state police take action and block all level crossings. Meanwhile, lead welder Ned Oldham races ahead in his pickup truck in an effort to catch up with the out-of-control locomotive and shut it down before catastrophe strikes.
Federal Railroad Administration inspector Scott Werner, on a visit to Fuller Yard for a Railroad Safety Campaign excursion train with students, issues a warning about the potential danger of eight out of 39 freight cars carrying highly toxic and flammable molten phenol. This could result in a disastrous situation if the train were to derail in a populated area. Despite Connie’s suggestion to derail the train on unpopulated farmland in order to save money, Galvin rejects it and instead sends experienced engineer Judd Stewart to slow down the runaway by attaching it to two locomotives. However, this plan fails when AWVR employee and U.S. Marine veteran Ryan Scott sustains injuries and Stewart tragically loses his life. Upon realizing that the train will eventually derail on an elevated track in Stanton – a heavily populated town – Galvin makes the decision to intentionally derail it north of the smaller town of Arklow.
