At the height of the frontier era, a locomotive races through the Rocky Mountains on a classified mission to a remote Army post. But one by one, the passengers are being murdered. Their only hope is John Deakin (Charles Bronson), a mysterious prisoner-in-transit who must fight for his life and the lives of everyone on the train as he uncovers a deadly secret that explodes in a torrent of shocking revelations, explosive brawls and blazing gun battles.

The only thing I knew about Breakheart Pass to this day was that it had top-notch music - well, it’s Jerry Goldsmith, right? I was happy to find out that the entire movie is just like that. It's a perfect adventure story, a western tinged with a crime drama and perhaps even detective fiction, starring the excellent Bronson and atmospheric nature. From the first to the last minute, it’s a thrilling film containing many memorable scenes.
