 ... bridge called the Cassandra Crossing. However, the bridge is perilously close to collapse and unlikely to stand the weight of such a large vehicle. Can the passengers stop the train before it reaches the bridge? The cast of this film is amazing! We have Burt Lancaster as Colonel Stephen Mackenzie, who is in charge of deciding what to do about the plague, so pretty much becomes the 'baddy' of the piece.
