Rails & Ties

Rails & Ties (2007) is an American drama you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Alison Eastwood in her feature debut. Engineer Tom Stark is on schedule when a car stops on the tracks. The woman inside dies. Her son Davy survives and blames the man at the throttle for everything.

Tom and his wife Megan, who is facing a terminal diagnosis, take the orphaned boy in. Davy doesn't make it easy. Kevin Bacon plays Stark with a coiled, quiet guilt, and Marcia Gay Harden gives Megan an urgency that makes every scene feel borrowed against a deadline. It's a film about three people tethered by a single terrible moment, figuring out — badly at first, then less so — how to be in the same room. Stream Rails & Ties on iFILM.
