De zwaar bewaakte gedetineerde Manny ontsnapt samen met broekie Buck uit de gevangenis en weet op een goederentrein te stappen. Hun problemen zijn allesbehalve de wereld uit als blijkt dat de trein stuurloos door dendert en de sadistische gevangenisdirecteur Ranken per helikopter nadert.
Nee, helaas is Runaway Train nog niet beschikbaar op Netflix in Nederland.
