Transit is a 2012 American action crime thriller film directed by Antonio Negret and written by Michael Gilvary.

It stars Jim Caviezel, James Frain, Diora Baird, Elisabeth Röhm, Ryan Donowho, Sterling Knight, Harold Perrineau, and Jake Cherry.

It follows a gang of bank robbers who stash their loot in a vacationing family's car and then try to retrieve it down the road.

The driver finds this suspicious and prepares to drive off, but the truck is suddenly attacked by masked robbers.

Nate pleads with the officer not to give him the ticket because it will violate his parole, having spent the last 18 months in jail because of real estate fraud he committed.

Meanwhile, his wife Robyn (Elisabeth Rohm) and his two sons Shane (Sterling Knight) and Kenny (Jake Cherry) drive to a motel to spend the night while await Nate's release.

As they keep driving, one of the straps holding the camping gear comes loose and so the family pulls over to fix it.

As Nate and Robyn unload the camping gear, he hands her the sleeping bag full of money.

Robyn believes Nate actually stole the money from members of a laundering scheme that exposed his real-estate fraud and threw him in jail, and that they were the ones who attacked her at the motel, and insists the camping trip was nothing but a ruse for them to "start over".

Shane and Kenny plead their mother to turn the car around to get Nate, but they are attacked by the robbers in their Mustang.

He doesn't tell the robbers this and returns, stating once his family is set free he'll give them the money (he keeps eye contact with Losada while saying this).

In August 2010, it was announced that Jim Caviezel, Elisabeth Röhm, Harold Perrineau, Diora Baird, and James Frain had been cast in Transit, with Antonio Negret directing from a screenplay by Michael Gilvary.

[8] Dennis Harvey of Variety remarked, "Transit seldom pauses long enough to let the lapses in story logic show.

"[10] Ivan Radford of CineVue gave the film 3 out of 5 stars and stated, "Transit is at its best when channelling Steven Spielberg's 1971 effort Duel in its gripping first half.
