HELLO, it's based on an actual event. Even allowing for some artistic license to pump up the action, this movie and others like it have routinely shown things that simply do not happen on any railroad, or at the very least defy the laws of nature. One of my favorite movies, Dances With Wolves, stood high above most other Action/Westerns that preceded it because actor/director Costner insisted on authentic portrayal of the Native American culture and language, and he specifically said he did not want the usual movie stupidity of a gun fight scene where revolvers keep firing after six shots. As for documentaries, I can think of a few recent flicks that were loosely packaged in that category but were full of more fiction and fabrication than a c.g. animated sci fi spectacle.
