What Is Death Train About?

The premise of Death Train without spoilers.

A renegade Russian general launches a nuclear bomb toward the Middle East on a hijacked train, prompting a team of special agents to race across Europe and defuse the device. Ten tons of steel and a small amount of plutonium barrel at 90 mph, turning the train into a moving deathtrap. With the clock ticking, the agents launch a gun‑laden assault against the cold‑blooded mercenary controlling the train.
