The Cassandra Crossing (1976)
Country: GB/IT/GER
Technical: col/scope 129m
Director: George Pan Cosmatos
Cast: Sophia Loren, Richard Harris, Ava Gardner, Burt Lancaster
Synopsis:
A European international train has a lethal infection on board and the passengers are not allowed to disembark until they can do so safely. A weakened bridge over a notorious valley crossing may well mean the end of the line comes sooner than they think.
Review:
Terrorism, governmental intrigue and the usual ordinary people's lives making for spectacular collateral damage make up the stakes in this runaway train entry in the interminable seventies disaster cycle. There are nail-biting moments but the miniature effects work has dated badly.
