Avalanche Express (1979) watch online

Avalanche Express is a 1979 adventure thriller film starring Lee Marvin, Robert Shaw, Maximilian Schell, Linda Evans, Joe Namath and Horst Buchholz. It was produced and directed principally by Mark Robson, and completed by Monte Hellman after his death during mid-production. Based on a 1977 novel by British author Colin Forbes, the film is about the struggle over a defecting Soviet general, who flees aboard a trans-European express train.

Shooting took place on-location in West Germany and Italy. The film had a difficult production following the death of director-producer Robson, with Hellman and Gene Corman hired to finish the remaining days of principal photography and oversee post-production. This was also the final film of actor Robert Shaw, who died in August 1978, a year before the film's premiere.
