Coming this Spring to NBC
ATOMIC TRAIN (2-part miniseries) 

A runaway train unwittingly carrying armed nuclear weapons and nuclear waste
suddenly careens out of control down the Rocky Mountains, picking up speed 
every second as it races toward Denver and countless innocent victims, in 
"Atomic Train," an NBC four-hour, two-part miniseries starring Rob Lowe 
("Contact"). The impact of the subsequent crash could be catastrophic in this 
spectacular production. Compelling human stories unfold as lives are lost and 
simple human bravery is displayed by scores of people including John Seger 
(Lowe), an investigator for the National Transportation Safety Board. Seger 
drops to the roof of the speeding train from a helicopter and urgently 
attempts to stop the dangerous train from crashing. He is able
to save some lives before the train eventually crashes into the mountains 
causing an explosive fire. Time is against the brave volunteers who 
desperately attempt to diffuse the bombs before the fire reaches them. 
Tragically, a human error eventually causes the nuclear weapons to detonate.
