Rails & Ties

A bittersweet, far-fetched, predictable, 2007 melodrama in which an emotionally-cold senior train engineer (Kevin Bacon) and his childless, cancer-stricken wife (Marcia Gay Harden) bond with a distraught, guilt-ridden, 11-year-old son (Miles Heizer) of a suicide victim (Bonnie Root) when he runs away from a well-intentioned social worker (Marin Hinkle) and an abusive, insensitive foster mother (Margo Martindale).
