Saw this at release; This is Voight's very best work, his very best performance. His master work of the human condition. This is what real "Wokeness" is all about. To know yourself like that is to go fiercely into that eternal void. carpe in toto.
It's my headcanon that Runaway Train, one of the best movies that pretty much no one's ever seen, is set in the same universe as other movies and even shows, books and video games because it's too good to be unknown.
Comes from an era when films were good. I loved going to blockbuster video store to rent movies like this. Now we are in a dark age for movies.. They are mostly making CGI meaningless cash cow crap that has no substance.
Actually I've been on this railway line in Alaska .This film I am waiting for is coming from France.I just can't wait. John Voight, One of my favourite actors .Beautiful music Late husband worked there as a civil engineer
Una de las mejores escenas que ví en una película!! John Voight magnífico arriba de una locomotora más el helado paisaje unidos al tema musical final!! De antología!!
AN INTRIGUING END TO THE MOVIE. Throughout the film, the suspense builds as the convicts escape, hijack the train, and are pursued, but to no avail, as nobody is able to catch up to them. Then, after the guy separates the two locomotives and climbs on the top of the lead locomotive with the music and the impending doom that lies ahead as the picture fades to black.
When it fades to black, it also brilliantly ties back to what Manny had told the others earlier when she called him an animal and he responded "No, Worse, human". It used the quotation from Shakespeare's Richard III slightly paraphrased: "Even a beast, so fierce, knows a touch of pity! Richard III: But I know none, therefore am no beast."
The fabulous production team that made this movie were in complete contrast to sleepy-eyed, cobweb-covered, half-baked, incompetent Oscar-select dolts who failed to see Jon Vought's matchless performance as Manny.
Not going to lie, the ending brought tears to my eyes. It's like a big brother putting his life on the line to save his little brother.
What a great film. Unappreciated. It's in my vault of magnificent achievements.
The end is so haunting. The music. The engine dissappearing into the snowstorm.
One of the greatest endings in the history of filmmaking
Great movie. Jon Voight is one of the greatest American actors. Speaking of Runaway Trains, I love his politics, too!
That music just chills and thrills me to the bone!! Awesome and stunning, WOW!! 😬😲
Reminds me of Succession's score!
Many many thanks to the poster for actually identifying the music. So often not done.
Vivaldi was the man.
One of the most poignant endings Ever!
A Masterpiece of film and music!!!!
"No beast so fierce but knows some touch of pity.
But I know none, and therefore am no beast"

A warriors ending.
Damn right! The hardest most gangsta and epic ending I've ever seen.
Yes indeed
The way voight says I am free Frank, I am free and his expression makes me very emotional, I saw this when I was about 14 and was crying 🤧
I never appreciated as much as I do now. Spiritual music helps. Great for funerals.
Seen this more than 50 times. I tear up. Every... Fucking... Time.

Eren Jaeger: "All I want is Freedom."
Oscar "Manny" Manheim: "Hold my beer.”
Masterpiece 🫡
It sure is masterpiece. For years after I saw it, I wondered what would have happened to the train at termination point, which they chose not to show.
I wish they make more movies like this.
So does everyone. This is a real film. They seem to have stopped making them. The industry now is just producing dreck made by AI.

Thank for share, I has been watched this movie for a long time since they play one year after in 1986 .
I saw it in 1998. Humanism. You can feel it. I think it's the best movie.
This is cinema
well said
Another good old classic
All I remeber from this movie is:
I NEED SHOES!
I remember watching this when I was young and thought it was amazing and Eric Roberts was great.

One day we all will have to face our destiny...
one best movies i ever saw
Saw it first run in the theater.

Top of the world Ma
John Voigt la classe 👍👏
beautiful ending. I have the 1998 DVD release and instead of fades, it is hard cuts to the prisoners. small change but I wonder why they did it.
Two real men on different sides

마지막에 울뻔 ㅠㅠㅠ

0:48 Quite a bit!

I always wonder what did the single locomotive hit at the end do anybody know for sure I know they crashed what did they crash into
The end of the line. Probably went through a barrier at the end and derailed into the snow
It's stated that they're shuffled onto a dead-end siding, so... Probably the dead-end of the dead-end siding.
They rode into eternity
If they said it was a dead end siding then how long is it though?
@@maxwellthehedgehog6273It’s a dead end branch line, not a siding
This is 2 physcophaphs on opposite sides ,both facing death together.
Vibranium
No beast so fierce but knows some touch of pity But I know none, and therefore am no beast RICHARD 3-WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE😢

Yeah, he crushed his left hand in a coupler knuckle earlier on, crossing over the "A" unit I think.............

The actors are the reason this movie is so good.
They could make the same exact movie today and it would suck because of these netflix penny actors
