Short description
A passenger train has been hijacked by an electronics expert and turned into an untraceable command center for a weapons satellite. He has planned to blow up Washington DC and only one man can stop him, former Navy SEAL Casey Ryback.
What's left behind the scenes
- The scene with the destroyed industrial plant in China was taken from unused footage from another Steven Seagal film, 'On Deadly Ground' (1994).
- In one episode of the film, the scientist terrorist Travis Dane says, 'Without the disk, this train is just 20 tons of scrap metal.' In reality, the total weight of the train was 2000 tons. It is also mentioned several times that Dane intends to blow up 8 million people in Washington. However, at that time, Washington had a population of just over half a million, while 8 million people lived in New York, approximately 400 km from Washington.
- At the very beginning of the film, during the launch of the 'Grazer' satellite from the space shuttle, the payload bay doors open simultaneously with the separation of the spacecraft. In reality, this could not have happened. Spacecraft launches can only be carried out with the doors fully open (to avoid collisions with the control system).
- Initially, John Peters was going to produce the film and wanted to bring back the character played by Gary Busey. However, he was assured that Busey's character had died in the first film, and Peters left the project.
- Filming took place from September 14, 1994, to January 18, 1995.
- The film depicts the launch of a 'Pegasus' anti-satellite missile from a Northrop B-2 Spirit bomber. In reality, the winged Pegasus rocket is launched from a modified Lockheed L-1011 Stargazer aircraft, owned by Orbital Sciences Corporation.
- The film features GP7 locomotive No. 1801, owned by Missouri Central Railroad at the time of filming. Ten years before the release of this film, this locomotive (then owned by Alaska Railroad) appeared in another well-known railway film – 'Runaway Train' (1985). Currently, this locomotive operates under the designation RRC-1800.
- The phrase “fortune favors the prepared mind,” spoken in the film by Travis Dane, was borrowed from the French scientist Louis Pasteur.
- In an interview with Playboy magazine, Sandra Taylor hinted that she didn't know what fate awaited her character, Kelly, until she saw the finished film. This was because two versions had been filmed: in one, Kelly was shot in the knee, and in the other, she was shot and killed.
- Jeff Goldblum and Julian Sands turned down the role of Travis Dane.
- During the preparation for filming the scenes on the railroad, sparks from under the locomotive's wheels caused fires in the areas adjacent to the tracks. In order to carry out the filming, the locomotive had to be modified.
