Based on a gripping true story, Boxcar Bertha is a spellbinding tale of railroad renegades and runaway romance from acclaimed director Martin Scorsese and legendary producer Roger Corman.

When small-time crook and free-spirit Bertha takes up with union man - and Robin-Hood-of-the-rails - Big Bill Shelly, they soon become the most notorious and wanted train robbers in the South. But as their crimes grow more brazen, the law grows more ruthless and the duo discovers that their lifetime of larceny may have brought them a one-way ticket to a deadly destination!

Bristling with energy and the raw, "sensual" performances of Barbara Hershey and David Carradine, Boxcar Bertha is a hard-hitting and powerful film that's "beautiful directed" and delivers a "humour and warmth" that's right on track!
