Synopsis
The Cassandra Crossing (1976) — watch online this European disaster thriller on iFILM. Director George Pan Cosmatos packed the cast with Sophia Loren, Richard Harris, Martin Sheen, Ava Gardner and Burt Lancaster, all crammed aboard a Geneva–Stockholm express that no one is allowed to stop.
A terrorist infected with an untreatable strain of pneumonic plague is loose in the cars. A CIA colonel named Mackenzie knows, and his solution is grimly simple: keep the train moving, away from populated stations, toward an ancient railway bridge over an abyss — the Cassandra Crossing — that has been condemned for years. Dr. Chamberlain discovers the infected man too late; the contagion has already spread through the passenger cars, and the military has sealed every exit.
The film landed at the height of the Hollywood disaster-movie craze, sharing DNA with The Poseidon Adventure and Towering Inferno but adding a Cold War edge — bureaucrats gambling hundreds of lives on a calculation nobody will ever admit to making. Stream The Cassandra Crossing (1976) online on iFILM.
