Once it starts, nothing can stop it.
The escape. . .The pursuit . . .The ordeal!
Escaping from their high security prison and inhuman treatment by Prison Chief Ranken, Manny (Jon Voight) and Buck break out into the icy northwest wilderness and soon Ranken is hot on their trail. . .Unwittingly Manny and Buck stumble into a railway yard and take refuge on a work train that is rolling past. Little do they realise it is unmanned and out of control . . .
This powerful, action packed thriller has all the suspense to keep you on the edge of your seat until the very end. . .Jon Voight's oscar-nominated performance as the 'lifer' convict Manny, is terrifyingly convincing, half man, half beast, with no one or nothing to live for.
