Alien at the Movies

The Tunnel

It’s “Daylight” in Norway at Christmas time when a tanker accident in a long tunnel leads to a fire, a explosion, & panic as people become trapped by smoke & ash unable to see & breathe. Weather, an avalanche, & time are working against the rescuers & the victims. It’s the classic big time disaster setup that will tug at emotional core. This foreign film was dubbed in English for my viewing pleasure. A widowed snowplow driver is the hero here. He has a teenage daughter who, of course, happens to be onboard a bus on route thru this tunnel.

Alien gives it 2½ “Call Center” stars out of 4.
