Summary:
Hauptbeschreibung Eine Eisenbahnfahrt von Washington bis nach Los Angeles, wie einst Mark Twain sie unternahm, damit will Tom Langdon seine Freundin zu Weihnachten überraschen. An Bord lernt er eine Vielzahl von ganz unterschiedlichen Menschen kennen. Mit im Gepäck hat ein jeder von ihnen Sorgen und Träumen, Ängste und Hoffnungen. Während sich an Bord dramatische und amüsante Verwicklungen entspinnen, fährt der Zug durch
das
Land, hinauf zu den Rocky Mountains. Ein Unwetter zieht herauf. Wird der Zug sein Ziel erreichen? Und welches
Geschenk
wird die Weihnachtszeit für die Passagier.
Tom Langdon, a weary and cash-strapped journalist, is banned from flying when a particularly thorough airport security search causes him to lose his cool. Now, he must take the train if he has any chance of arriving in Los Angeles in time for Christmas with his girlfriend. To finance the trip, he sells a story about a train ride taken during the Christmas season. Thereupon begins one of the most hilarious-and heartwarming-journeys ever told. Along the way, Tom encounters a ridiculous cast of characters, unexpected romance, and an avalanche that changes everyone's Christmas plans. As the mighty Southwest Chief chugs along, Tom learns what really makes the holiday special.
