I love this movie!
It has such a great cast and story and just a all around adventure with a few laughs as well.

sharei think it's great fun. All the cast are good, and there are some very funny bits.
shareWhat an entertaining film, one of my favorites from the 70s. Such a great cast, it was thrilling, funny, romantic, it had it all. I've probably watched it 15 times now. One of those films I can watch over and over and never gets old.
shareIt was great. Even the villain was charming.
One of the funniest things is how he keeps ending up falling off the train and managing to get back on.
The end is quite a well-done disaster-style stunt.
I think I saw this as a kid in movie theaters at least five times back in the mid to late 70s. It seemed to have a re-release lifespan from '76 thru '79 as far as I can remember because I remember seeing it in a double-billing with "Stir Crazy".
Anywhoo, I vaguely remember the plot line other than Ned Beatty getting accidentally killed by an assassin who was trying to kill Jill Clayburgh but that's really it. The movie has a weird premise that probably wouldn't work today unless it was used in a futuristic space flight type of film. Train movies have slowly died off these past 40 years.
