Train of fools. An all-star disaster thriller in which the usual cross-section of humanity settles in for the railroad journey from Geneva to Stockholm, not knowing that among them is a terrorist carrying pneumonic plague. Will Dr. Richard Harris find a way to contain the disease? Or will Col. Burt Lancaster send them all to their deaths by letting the train cross an unsafe bridge? And is the Rev. O.J. Simpson really dedicated to doing the Lord's work, or is he up to something else? It'll take two hours and seven minutes to find out. I bet the suspense is killing you.
