Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThis was one of the most complicated scripts to prep because of the number of locations required. Matching terrain for road work, Sheriff car chases, helicopter landing and takeoff points, interior café diner (Saugus, California), lecture interior, train station (Acton, California), tracks for the Amtrak train to travel for filming while the train was in motion. The production company (Universal Studios) and Amtrak had to gain permission from Metro Rail to use right of way on their rail tracks, with the film train waiting on side bar tracks for the daily Metro schedules. Filming the bus interior while moving on back roads of Acton, the town of Piru, California for the bus passengers to disembark, completely dressing the Piru Main Street for the scripted scenes. An epic for a two hour Movie of the Week, this was a very busy shoot. Every member of the crew drove to each location on his or her own. Not one person was put up in a hotel during the entire filming schedule.

Featured review
Story about secret codes and NAS
This story full of suspense. It starts off with a man being murdered and a woman walking her dog sees the murderer. The woman tell the police she is afraid because the killer knows what she looks like.
JB Fletcher goes on a train a makes friends with a Mrs Taylor not knowing the lady is the witness to the murder who later disappears.
There are men that get on board and they all look suspicious. You start to think maybe they will kill Mrs Taylor.
The story is about secret codes for Satellites that are worth a lot of money. They are being sought by a number of people some working for the government and some from other countries. The man that was killed was meeting a reporter because the codes where in error and the higher ups would not listen to him to correct the problem so he was going to give the reporter the story.
It kind of reminds me of what happened recently with the NSA. The NSA was spying on people and countries and Snowden not like what the NSA was doing so he started to reveal internal things that happened to news reporters.
The story has a lot of suspense and action that takes place on the train. It has lots of persons of interest. Good to watch.
