Harry Maxwell, an ex drug dealer decides with a few of his friends to rob $35 million from a federal reserve shipment on an Amtrak train in New York state. Unfortunately, a mixed bag of international terrorists, led by the beautiful Annalise Shenker have boarded the train with the same purpose. Harry and his friends planned a sleek harmless removal of the money but the terrorists are more brutal and threaten to release Anthrax as a deterrent to anyone who tries to stop them. The two groups operate in parallel as the train weaves its way from the US into Canada. The authorities have no good plan to stop the train so it is up to Harry Maxwell to save the day.
