O Brother, Where Art Thou? is based on a real story too.

The story still sounds pretty badass.



The train consisted of the SD40-2 #8888 locomotive with 47 freight cars, 22 of which were loaded. Two of the train's tank cars contained thousands of gallons of molten phenol, a toxic ingredient of paints, glues, and dyes that is harmful when it is inhaled, ingested, or comes into contact with the skin. Attempts to derail the train using a portable derailer failed and police shot at an Emergency Fuel Cutoff switch, although this had no effect because the button must be pressed for several seconds before the engine is starved of fuel and shuts down. A northbound freight train, Q63615, was directed onto a siding where the crew uncoupled its locomotive (#8392, another EMD SD40-2) and waited for the runaway train to pass. The locomotive, with a crew of two, an engineer with 31 years of service and a conductor with one year's experience, chased the runaway train and was able to couple onto the rear car. They slowed the train down by applying the dynamic brakes on the chase locomotive. An EMD GP38 locomotive was also prepared further down the line to couple to the front of the runaway and slow it down more if necessary. Once the runaway was slowed down to a speed of 11 miles per hour, a CSX employee, trainmaster Jon Hosfeld, ran alongside the train, climbed aboard, and shut down the engine. The train was stopped just southeast of Kenton, Ohio, before reaching the GP38.[4] All of the brake shoes on #8888 had been completely destroyed by the heat from being applied throughout the runaway trip.

It's worth a watch through. Starts off slow. than gets better. Reminds me of action movies like Speed. Plus it's Denzel Washington and Captain Kirk vs runaway explosive train.

You have to get used to the shakey camera cliche though.

The screenwriter that read this probably wet himself.

That engineer was definitely getting too old for this.

I thought it was a pretty stupid movie, tbh.

It's iubaris, not Lubaris.

It was better than I thought it would be, but not amazing. Denzel is always awesome.

The funniest is when it says "Based on a true story" in the Killer Elite trailer, in which Jason Statham smashes out of a window and stuff, that movie gonna be awesome.
