Movie Description
Ex-Navy SEAL Casey Ryback returns, this time aboard a train which is hijacked by a psycho genius out to steal a satellite weapons system he invented for the government. Only the inscrutable, martial arts and weapons master Ryback can save the day in this all-out actioner.
Synopsis
Travis Dane, a strategic arms genius, hijacks a train and threatens to destroy the world with a top secret satellite. Fortunately, ex-CIA agent Casey Ryback happens to be traveling with his niece on that very same train. Although Dane has countless Uzi-armed henchmen, Ryback's martial arts expertise and quick mind give him enough power to take out the bad guys one by one until he comes face-to-face with the diabolical Dane.
