About the film

Express number 34 leaves Moscow exactly on time. Passengers settle down for the night, and in an empty attendant's compartment a forgotten cigarette sets the curtain alight.

Soon a whole carriage is burning. Train crew and passengers have only minutes to stop the train, uncouple the cars and save everyone on board.

One of the few Soviet disaster films, made by the director of In the Zone of Special Attention.
