"Crisis Hour"
action disaster movie
Due to the mistakes of two workers in the train dispatching yard, a train carrying 8 chemical raw materials liquid phenol was traveling backwards on the track at a speed of 70 miles (112 kilometers) per hour without driver, and at the same time Frank and Will, who were dispatching at another dispatch yard 300 kilometers away, were accidentally involved in the accident and had to become heroes to stop the "bomb train".
The story itself is very simple, even a bit cliché. It's the kind of story where you know what's going to happen as soon as you see the train at the beginning. The key is how to promote the development of the plot. It can be said that it is compact and does not feel long-winded when it comes to the many levels set in the process of solving the crisis, so the film is only one and a half hours instead of the usual two hours.
American movies of personal heroism are actually very routine, all of which are government incompetence. A lot of police cars and helicopters follow the train, watching the hero save the world, and the middle and high-level decision makers make two wrong decisions to reduce losses. (It is really evil capitalism, or socialism is better), increase the difficulty to highlight the greatness of the individual. But the audience just likes to watch this kind of movie, and they are also very easily infected by this kind of emotion. I think it is possible that every audience yearns to be a hero or needs a hero in their hearts.
All in all, watching an intense action disaster movie under the quilt on such a cold winter night is also a good choice.
