Hostage Train, known as Crackerjack 2 in most international markets, is a 1997 Czech–Canadian[1] action film directed by Robert Lee, starring Judge Reinhold, Carol Alt, Michael Sarrazin and Kateřina Brožová.
Reinhold plays a damaged widower cop trying to save train passengers—among them his new girlfriend (Alt)—trapped inside a tunnel by a group of international terrorists, which includes his wife's killer (Roden) and a mysterious overlord (Sarrazin).
After being attacked at his home, Wild discovers that the gang's next target is a train called the Rocky Mountain Express, aboard which his new girlfriend Dana works as a hostess for VIP passengers.
He commandeers a helicopter and manages to drop atop the carriage, but as it enters a tunnel, a detonation is triggered, causing the entrance to collapse and the passengers to be trapped inside.
[16] Kinobox, a Czech website spun off from a popular TV program, delivered a rare positive opinion of the picture, finding that it offered an "exciting narrative replete with fights and chases".
[13] However, a profile of actor Karel Roden on the same site later called it "an obvious knockoff of Under Siege 2: Dark Territory" which "belong[ed] among the lowest-rated movies of all time".
