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.

Wendy Ide The Times (UK) It’s a genuinely thrilling nail-biter. Jul 31, 2023 Full Review Keith Uhlich Time Out 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. Rated: 3/5 Mar 23, 2023 Full Review Candice Frederick Reel Talk Online 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. Rated: B+ Sep 9, 2017 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review Scott delivers an exciting and fast-paced ride that audiences will enjoy, largely due to the affability of his two leading men. Rated: 2.5/4 Aug 3, 2023 Full Review Don Shanahan Every Movie Has a Lesson You will never see a more growling, intimidating, and unrelenting inanimate object in a movie like this train. Rated: 4/5 Mar 8, 2022 Full Review Mike Massie Gone With The Twins Director Tony Scott certainly likes action films and casting Denzel Washington. Rated: 6/10 Nov 30, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews

A++ 🍿🎥🍿 Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/18/25 Full Review Michael G Underrated and wildly entertaining. Great rapport between Denzel and Pine. Stays fairly true to actual events. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 11/06/25 Full Review Real O Awesome movie. Can never go wrong with Uncle Zel! Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 10/20/25 Full Review Steven R Good ole fun. Decent story and acting, I really enjoyed most of the action set pieces. My suspension of disbelief was challenged a few times (especially as a railroader myself) and there were a few moments where I thought to myself "ok that's a little much" especially the part where the train leans over but stays on the track, but, it looks cool so I don't hold it against the movie or filmmakers. Overall a fun summer blockbuster. Would recommend Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/17/25 Full Review Read all reviews
