What happens

Night Train is a 2009 direct-to-video mystery thriller film starring Danny Glover, Leelee Sobieski, and Steve Zahn. Written and directed by M. Brian King, it pays homage to Treasure of the Sierra Madre. It also references a variety of classic suspense films such as Strangers on a Train (1951), The Lady Vanishes (1938), and The Maltese Falcon (1941), though the plot bears only passing resemblance to any of them. The film did not appear in theaters and was released on DVD for US markets in July 2009. It was produced by Rifkin-Eberts Productions. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
