Frankly, it's not the kind of film that can be spoiled by knowing how it turns out. The fun is in watching the characters. Why don't you just see it?
But if you can't, and want to know all.....
Spoilers.....
Manny (Voight) stops the speeding train, saves the passengers, receives the key to the city from the Mayor and the thanks of a grateful nation,, and becomes a dolphin trainer at Sea World.
Yay, Thank's.
shareOh wait a minute, I was thinking of another film. "Runaway Train" refers to Manny's train of thought. Manny is a parrot salesman with dreams of being a rugged lumberjack. Just when his flight of fantasy turns to thoughts of pressing wild flowers, wearing women's clothing, and hanging 'round in bars, he snaps to and puts the brakes on his girly train.

once i was living in PORTO SEGURO a very small town in the south of bahia, brazil(no movir theaters or video rental plces), and my brother was visiting from the states, i urged him to tell me the plot from THE OTHERS, he didnt want to, but i threatened him that i wouldnt help him get some brazilian punnani, so reluctantly he finally spilled the beans about amenabar's masterpiece, ending included...oh, how i regret this now!!
dont be lazy and pick up a copy of runaway train , its a damn great movie, it doesnt have a plot twist ending , but its still an awsome piece of cinema, catch
it.
phograin is pulling your leg.
here's the real synopsis:
Spoilers below! If you haven't watched this film, don't read below this line.
After the runaway train is discovered, Manni and buck discover a female engineer - Sara - on the train and both fall in love with her, taking turns at night snuggling up with her to keep warm. In the meantime, the central control centre manage to put the train on a loop so the train can go around and around until it runs out of diesel.
This takes a while because there are 4 engines and 4 large fuel tanks to empty.
After a few months of the train going around and around, Sara discovers she's pregnant and Manni & Buck have an almighty fight over who is the father. Manni wins and Buck reluctantly agrees to be the best man and pastor at the wedding, so the child isn't born a b*stard.
During a mock wedding reception when they are toasting the health of the newly married couple, Jon Claude van Damme leaps out of a cupboard, a terrible fight ensues, Van Damme is thrown off the train, Manni stop the train and (this is where Phograin is right) he ends up as a dolphin trainer at Seaworld.
Also, Buck goes on to win a nobel prize for literature for some poetry and a novel he wrote, while the train was going around and around.
Tsk, if you are going to give out spoilers at least get your facts right!!!!! Manny did bollocks become a dolphin trainer at Seaworld. Those bad boys are Porpoise that he trains. Yes, they may be part of the dolphin family and they may look very similar, but if you look very closely at the final scene where he gets one of them to jump through the flaming ring of fire and over the train mock up, you can clearly see that it is smaller than a dolphin and it doesn't have a dolphins distinctive bottle nose.
I heard somewhere that there was a plan for Runaway Train II: Aquatic Mammals on a Train. Anyone know what came of it?

To the original poster - You got internet and You "haven't the chance to see that movie"???? Waht is wrong with You??? Not even living in a cave would be an excuse. Either rent it or download it. Just don't tell me You are too lazy to watch it.
Women are like deer - You can't just charge in, you gotta stalk 'em...
Two prisoners escape, lube themselves up and (insert X-rated deleted scene), power-hungry (and super sexy) warden goes after them, they get on a train, train conductor dies of a heart attack, runaway train (never coming back haha), train people are alerted, prisoners meet pretty conductor assistant and try to stop it/slow it down, eventually they cut the electricity which slows down the train cars, Voight sacrifices himself and his fingers to save the other two people by detaching the front car from the other cars, the warden lands on the front car from a helicopter and gets shackled like an idiot by Voight, Voight gets on top (of the train, not the warden) and rides into oblivion (no crash seen).
Alternate ending: Warden and Voight ride off into the sunset and live in the mountains together.

Runaway Train is a lighthearted romp of a romantic comedy starring Jon Voight (Manny) and Rebecca De Mornay (Sara) as star-crossed lovers whose "perfect" wedding day is jeopardized by an unfortunate incident in which the trane to Sara's wedding gown is left in a taxi, sparking a madcap chase around the country to track it down. Sara simply will not get married without it. Sara's father, Rankin, disapproves of the impending union and has hired a bumbling thug named Buck (Eric Roberts) to make sure the train stays lost. I hate to give away the ending but the train is located with the assistance of a helicopter.
Runaway Train is the hastily made sequel to hit movie The Breakfast Club, which was released the same year. The now-bonded disparate misfits from detention class have really done it this time. They made a pact to run away from home en masse, forming the "runaway train". Most of the urchins return to their domestic prisons within a few hours, but things go quickly awry for "The Criminal" Buck (Eric Roberts) and "The Princess" Sara (Rebecca De Mornay); while dumpster diving for sandwich scraps, they get locked into a massive dumpster, along with a gruff, obscene old hobo named Manny (Jon Voight). Sara and Buck, having bared their souls to each other in The Breakfast Club, would like nothing better than to present their young bare selves to each other, but Manny insists upon lecturing them endlessly about how they are "worse than animals...human!!!" and how they should take a menial job and be thankful for it. What a buzzkill. To make matters worse, the cruel headmaster of the school, Principal Rankin, keeps banging on the steel dumpster walls with a length of steel pipe, shouting "I know you're in there!". Manny redeems himself at the films exciting climax, offering himself up to Rankin to divert attention from what remains of the Runaway train. Buck and Sara get away, but eventually end up freezing to death in an abandoned bus in rural Alaska. Runaway train is a sad, sad film, but the acting is excellent.
shareThere's a train. And, it runs away.

Manny (Jon Voight) is an aging boxer.... who's never had a fight! It all began for him in 1947, when he watched "Body and Soul" at the local movie palace. Straight away he committed himself to train every day, but was forever plagued by self-doubt. Director Andrei Konchalovsky skillfully depicts Manny's hesitant, determined, tormented life - the "runaway train" - in one long (80 minutes) training montage, highlighted by Trevor Jones' rousing score. One day, while on an errand to pick up a jump rope and two dozen raw eggs from the store, Manny gets into a road rage incident with a hotheaded motorist named Rankin. Things come to a head when Manny, in the heat of the moment, makes a remark about Rankin's Mother. Something about her "fart hole". Now Manny is in for the fight of his life... is he ready?

Manny (Jon Voight), inspired by Channing Pollock's adage "Happiness: a way station between too little and too much", invests his life savings into the purchase of a short line railroad. He wants to run "a way train"; not too comfortable, not lavishly appointed... but not rusted-out and rat-infested, either. He hires an energetic but annoying porter (played by Eric Roberts) and a Klutzy but kinda cute diner car waitress (Rebecca De Mornay). The train runs from point A (a decent enough place) to point B, which is a reasonably desirable destination. It is a thoughtful drama, and has a dream sequence that must be seen to be fully appreciated, so I won't describe it here.
