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.

Critics Consensus

As fast, loud, and relentless as the train at the center of the story, Unstoppable is perfect popcorn entertainment -- and director Tony Scott's best movie in years.

It’s a genuinely thrilling nail-biter.

3/5

Let’s give credit where it’s due: Scott’s on his A-game — as opposed to, ugh, Spy Game — for this occasionally exhilarating piece of popcorn cinema.

Packed with stunts that would make even Tom Cruise grimace, Unstoppable is an adrenaline-fueled action flick that leaves you at the edge of your seat until the very end.

Scott delivers an exciting and fast-paced ride that audiences will enjoy, largely due to the affability of his two leading men.

You will never see a more growling, intimidating, and unrelenting inanimate object in a movie like this train.

A remake of Speed except with a train. The camera never stops shaking. Cliches abound. If you don't think this is one of the worst movies, I question your judgement about anything.

Intense, gritty and extremely real, Unstoppable tells a true story with style and a whole lot of substance.

Good actors but such a predictable film. Feels like script could have been auto-generated by a computer.

Unstoppable is a typical Tony Scott (RIP) film in that it provides what it promises- an hour and a half od solid entertainment. This one concerns a railroad engineer and a young conductor who must race against the clock to prevent an unmanned freight train from crashing into a city. Its fast paced and more importantly- well-paced. The effects are good and the train lashing towards its destination like a bullet does provide some sort of excitement. The actors are good- Denzel is always reliable and Chris Pine ably supports him. This is a good film that you can watch and forget and that is what its intentions are.
