Passengers on a European train have been exposed to a deadly disease. Nobody will let them off the train. So what happens next?
Terrorists have planted a deadly virus on a transcontinental train. On board are the glamorous Jennifer Chamberlain and her ex-husband, Dr. Jonathan Chamberlain, as well as Nicole Dressler and her young lover, Robby. They can’t get off, and one solution proposed is to quarantine them by rerouting the train over the Cassandra Crossing — an unstable bridge. Dr. Chamberlain wants to save them, but has to battle the terrorists first. Government intrigue, international smuggling, and the legend of the Cassandra Crossing add to the suspense.
“The characters are reasonably good such as the young toy boy played by Martin Sheen with the rich older woman played by Ava Gardner. The characters and performances are quite enjoyable.” – The Movie Scene
“It offers some fine location photography and a number of thrills.” – dennisschwartzreviews.com
“It is undeniably entertaining. Cosmatos keeps it slick and taut, and Lancaster makes a grand villain as Colonel Stephen Mackenzie.” – derekwinnert.com
