Thrilling adventure in the old-time Saturday matinee mode. With the help of a young boy, three elderly men hijack the country’s last steam engine and chug across the country with the media in hot pursuit, and the war cry “Our heritage is not for sale!” Charming and graced with some of South America’s finest actors, you’d need a heart of stone not to love this.
