REVIEWS:

"The great adventure movies have all been stories of character, not just tales of action. .... 'Runaway Train' is a reminder that the great adventures are great because they happen to people we care about. .... The action sequences in the movie are stunning. .... There is such a raw, uncluttered desperation in the feats that they put slick Hollywood stunts to shame."

-- Roger Ebert; January 17, 1986
