A bunch of people cooped up inside a train together. In another compartment is an army unit who are headed to the rocky mountains to provide relief to an army camp devastated by a plague. But there is a killer among the main set of train passengers. the hero (Bronson) who is a prisoner gradually wins everyone's trust. The supporting cast including the great Charles Durning and Richard Crenna were surprisingly tepid due to poorly written roles. Jill Ireland looked gorgeous in this film. The film was rather slow at times and never rises above a certain level. It might have had some sort of an impact on Tarantino's THE HATEFUL EIGHT. I mean it might have inspired Tarantino.
