a really good movie, keeps you on the edge of your seat thru out the movie..

Some trivia about the movie:

-Based on a real runaway train incident. On May 15, 2001, a 47-car CSX locomotive left a Toledo, Ohio rail yard without an engineer and wasn't stopped until it had run 66 miles through three counties. No one was injured in the incident.

-Ironically, a train used in filming accidentally derailed in Bridgeport, Ohio on November 21, 2009 while being shot for the production. No one was injured in the incident, but production was halted for the remainder of the day.

- Twentieth Century Fox executives asked Denzel Washington to shave $4 million from his standard fee of $20 million. (They also asked director Tony Scott to cut $3 million from his usual $9 million fee.) Citing frustration with the lack of a start date, Washington withdrew from the film. Fox then came up with an as yet undisclosed enticement package, purportedly including a revised script, to bring Washington back on board two weeks later.

-Although it was sometimes hard to tell during the sugar puffed cereal/potato flake storm scene, Chris Pine performed all of his own stunts. Denzel Washington had seven stuntmen, one for each day of live shots on running trains. In addition to insurance concerns, according to Tony Scott, "D's got a fear of heights, and I had him up at 25 feet on a 50 mph train, which was no easy task." When you do see Washington up on top of a tanker car, that's really him, though, not CGI.

-Real life train engineer Jess Knowlton served as a technical advisor to Denzel Washington. Knowlton's daughters actually work at Hooters, which is how Washington's Frank Barnes character's daughters wound up being similarly employed.

-The locomotives used in the movie were leased General Electric AC4400CW's from Canadian Pacific (4 units) and EMD SD40-2's from the Wheeling and Lake Erie dressed up as the fictional Allegheny West Virginia Railroad.

-The "Stanton Curve" featured in the film is an actual rail line in Bellaire, Ohio. The line runs on a historic stone viaduct after crossing the Ohio River from West Virginia. However, the extremely dangerously-placed oil/chemical storage tanks beside the curved track do not exist and must have been photo-shopped in to add extra hazard for the speeding train.

they made that movie right down the road..alot locals in it ..

very interesting, thanks Red..

I think I saw you standing in one of the crowds of people

You're welcome. Unstoppable reminds me of Edwin S. Porter (The Great Train Robbery). Porter is arguably the father of editing, and was the first filmmaker to use such a device to tell multiple stories at the same time. A hundred and ten years later, such an innovation is no less important, and it's hard to imagine movies like Unstopabble working without it. There's some great work here by cinematographer Ben Seresin who creates a some stunning sequences of trains moving across the landscape and keeps the camera flying even in stationary settings. His work is enhanced by editors Robert Duffy and Chris Lebenzon who generally keep the complex visuals sorted out and suspenseful. Tony Scott conducts all of this with efficiency of purpose, although some of his choices distract us from the plot. At the bottom of a strong technical effort is the screenplay.

That movie was filmed in my home town when I was still living there. I have yet to see it :(

Saw it yesterday, thoroughly enjoyed it!

My daughter & I went to see it this last Tuesday I really enjoyed it.....

Goof approves of this film.
