위험한 열차 (1977)
Rollercoaster
스릴넘치고 흥미만점인 롤러 코스터를 타려는 인파로 북적대며, 모두 즐거움에 들뜬 축제 분위기에 젖어 있는 오션 뷰 파크 대공원. 그러나 멀지않은 곳에서 이 광경을 지켜보던 한 청년이 원격폭파 장치를 누르자, 잠시 후 폭발물이 터지면서 열차 레일은 엿가락처럼 휘어지고, 가공할 속도로 달려오는 열차는 파괴된 레일을 박차고 공중으로 뜨는 아비규환의 대참사가 벌어진다. 비뚤어진 청년은 백만불의 돈을 요구하며, 또다른 놀이터도 폭파시킬 것을 치밀한 암시로 예고한다. 안전 검사관 해리는 이 미친 듯한 살인 게임을 방지하기 위해 경찰을 도와 치밀한 조사를 펴 나간다. 마침내 두 사람은 매직 마운틴에 새로 건설된 대형 쾌속열차에서 맞부딪히게 되고 더욱 커다란 위험은 무섭게 다가온다.

Rollercoaster is a 1977 American disaster-suspense film directed by James Goldstone and starring George Segal, Richard Widmark, Henry Fonda and Timothy Bottoms. It was one of the few films to be shown in Sensurround, which used extended-range bass frequencies to give a sense of vibration to the viewers during the coaster rides.
Production
This was the third film to be presented in Sensurround. Special low-frequency bass speakers were used during the roller coaster sequences. Sensurround was employed in only three other films released by Universal: Earthquake (1974), Midway (1976) and the theatrical version of Battlestar Galactica (1978).
"Sensurround is as big a star as there is in movies today," said Sidney Sheinberg, head of MCA, who attributed the better-than-expected success of Earthquake and Midway at the box office to the device.
The film was announced in July 1976. Director James Goldstone said the film was "not a disaster movie but a Hitchcock-like suspense cat and mouse story".
George Segal's casting was announced in August 1976. He called it "simply an action-adventure, something Alfred Hitchcock would do, structured beautifully, and combined with Universal's technology". Goldstone said Segal had "that humanity factor and it does come through. George plays the Everyman character who is repeatedly dumped on but who's never a buffoon...
Opposite was Timothy Bottoms. "It's the first time I've ever played the villain," said Bottoms. Helen Hunt, in her first feature film, has a supporting role as Tracy Calder, Harry's teenage daughter. Steve Guttenberg, in his first film role, has an uncredited bit part as a messenger at Magic Mountain who brings the plans for the Revolution to Calder and Hoyt. Craig Wasson, in his second film, appears as a hippie.
