Unstoppable	comment	Remember those math problems, where train A leaves station A at 45 MPH, and train B leaves station B at 35 MPH, and if the stations are 60 miles away from each other, when will they pass?Well, those math problems just got a lot more exciting, in this case: Train A leaves Railyard A at 70 mph, with no one at the controls and carrying enough explosive chemicals to level a small town. How long will it take for the heroes to stop it before disaster strikes?Unstoppable is a 2010 action film starring Denzel Washington, Chris Pine and Rosario Dawson, and directed by Tony Scott. It's got a fairly simple plot — a train loaded with hazardous chemicals loses its engineer and runs unmanned across rural Pennsylvania, and train engineers Frank Barnes (Washington) and Will Colson (Pine) have to stop it before it reaches a tight curve and derails in the middle of the large town of Stanton — which just so happens to be Will's hometown.

Unstoppable / int_1fb947b6	type	Just Train Wrong
Unstoppable / int_1fb947b6	comment	Just Train Wrong: The producers apply a little Artistic License and alter locomotive road names, cab numbers, and some reporting marks on the freight cars. Other than that, it's refreshingly absent. Most everything you see is a real locomotive on real active track moving a real train. The producers also bought several real (albeit retired and partially-scrapped) engines to use for filming. Weirdly, the only real example of it wasn't one of the trains, it was a signal, which was ringing loudly and flashing right before Dewey's Hi-Rail truck clips it and knocks off its door. Position-light signals don't flash between aspects (though sometimes they do blink), and no trackside signal actually has a bell — engineers wouldn't hear it anyway. When the train takes the curve at Stanton, the wheels of the locomotive and many of the cars lift off the rails, only to have every single wheel fall back into place without unlucky 777 derailing. A car can recover from lifting off the ground, but not a runaway train the size of the Chrysler Building. It's simply a case of Rule of Cool.

Defaulting to causing a disaster, even in open county, is a bit of an overreaction when there hasn't been a single attempt to stop the train safely. Connie's playing it safe, in a sense, because it was the only uninhabited region to safely derail the train.

Unstoppable / int_7286e96d	comment	Idiot Ball: Dewey first fails to hook up the train's air brakes before moving it, then he jumps out of the cab with the train still moving in order to switch the tracks. The end reveals that he was fired for this, and is now working in the fast food industry. When the train suddenly speeds up, instead of thinking to jump onto the rear staircase of the locomotive, Dewey tries to outrun the rapidly accelerating train to get to the front one. Dewey and Gilleece report that the runaway train is only traveling at 10 mph, even though it very clearly accelerated after Dewey left it (which is precisely why his stupid plan above didn't work). It even audibly spooled up to full power while Dewey was right next to it. Will's reaction to his wife's suspicious texting. Sure, Will, bring a gun with you to have a threatening chat WITH A POLICE OFFICER. Galvin's strategy of attempting to slow 777 by having another locomotive or two bash it from the front while simultaneously trying to land marine Ryan Scott on it. Predictably, the poor bastard is flung like a rag doll the second the two diesels hit each other, at the worst possible moment. It would have made much more sense to simply put Ryan on the back locomotive and have it couple to the front. Why didn't either Will or Frank think to use the railcar hand brakes miles before the curve? Or, for that matter, toast 1206's brakes before the curve? In fact, why didn't either of them climb the other cars to get to the lead train? Even if they got past the curve, they'd still be on a runaway train. Who puts gigantic oil storage tanks right under a perilously curved section of track? The crowd surrounding the site in which the 777 was going to be derailed.

Unstoppable / int_8f9f71a8	comment	Crazy Enough to Work: The plan to use dynamic braking to stop the train by coupling to it from behind only sounds mad. But the movie explains the physics behind it perfectly, so it makes total sense to anyone with even a passing familiarity with physics. This is actually what they did in the real-life incident the film is based on, and it worked. Played straight and then (somewhat amusingly) averted with Galvin's plan to stop triple 7; by having Judd Stewart attempt to slow it down while another employee is lowered down onto the moving train from a helicopter. It doesn't go quite as planned.

Heavily averted, as if one listens closely to Will and Frank's in one scene, Will actually drops F-bombs which are concealed by their back and forth arguments. From the looks of it, Ned was holding his in while arguing with Dewey and Gilleece while being asked where the train is. This is practically when Ned realizes the train was going faster than Connie had told him after throwing the switch in an attempt to lead it off the mainline. Only God knows what Galvin was thinking and saying to himself. Whatever it is, he managed to keep his ugliest thoughts in his head as the movie progressed. Averted again if one looks at Dewey's lips as he witnesses his train leaving the yard. In fact, he actually says it, but it is made inaudible in all versions and copies of the film mostly to keep the PG-13 rating and also to mainly make it clear that he screwed up BIG TIME. Practically everyone during the entire situation. It's definite that everyone wanted to drop at least one F-bomb to express their frustration with how ridiculous this entire event is. Ned again when telling Will to hop aboard 777 before they run out of road. He refers to Will as a pussy which is obviously a disguised F-bomb.

He isn't so much corrupt as he is somewhat incompetent and more concerned with the company's financial standing than the actual threat the train poses. When Connie suggests derailing the train before it hits a populated area, he shoots down the plan on the spot because they've made almost no other attempts to stop it and it would be a massive expense. He refuses to keep her in the loop and cooks up his own plan to airlift someone onto the train while a second engine tries to slow it from the front. When that fails, he goes with Connie's derailer plan, only now it'll happen in a town and be much more destructive. When Frank and Will suggest a much less destructive plan that would risk their lives, he vetoes it and threatens to fire them. He gets his comeuppance when Frank and Will metaphorically give him the finger and refuse to listen to him, causing everyone else on the ground to follow suit and effectively lock him out of the situation. It's implied that he got fired after the whole mess, as Connie was given his job in the "Where Are They Now?" Epilogue.

The runaway jumped the switch, the uncoupled rescue engines didn't; the resulting impact derailed the rescue engines, which exploded, killing the engineer aboard. While the tanks are filled with volatile diesel fuel and rupturing them can cause fires and explosions, locomotives normally don't go up like Roman Candles when they heel over.

Unstoppable / int_e4b69188	comment	Very Loosely Based on a True Story: The trailers hype the connection to a 2001 runaway train; the actual runaway train went through northwest Ohio, and there were no casualties. And the actual train went nowhere near 70 mph, more like 45 at the most. Two of the film's failed attempts to stop it were also tried in real life (using derailers, and shooting the exterior stop button). The ultimate solution was similar, albeit not effected so dramatically close to a populated area. The train that did the job was driven by an engineer with 31 years of experience (28 in the film) and a conductor with a year's worth (in the movie, it's his first day). The guy who actually got in and stopped it wasn't the young conductor, and he only had to catch up with the train slowed down (by the coupled engine) to 11 MPH. So yeah, real life ignores the Rule of Drama repeatedly.
