The Dryden Theater at George Eastman House (900 East Ave.) will be showing Runaway Train starting at 8 p.m. I think the Eastman House calendar does a great job of piquing the interest in the film, describing how two escaped convicts "hop a ride on a barreling freight train without an engineer. The tension mounts as the desperate men realize their situation and attempt to slow down the title character."
