Frank Barnes

Frank Barnes is one of two protagonists of 2010 disaster action film Unstoppable. He is a veteran worker of the railway. He is played by Denzel Washington, who also portrayed Robert McCall from The Equalizer, Eli in The Book of Eli, Lincoln Rhyme in The Bone Collector, John Creasy in Man on Fire, William "Whip" Whitaker Sr. in Flight, Silas Tripp in Glory, and Sam Chisolm in The Magnificent Seven.
== Overview ==
We first see Frank at the station, when he accepts the young and inexperienced Will Coulson as his partner. It also turns out that Frank has a difficult relationship with his daughters. Due to Will's inexperience and absent-mindedness, Frank often quarrels with him. It soon turns out that one of the engineers named Dewey foolishly jumped out of his train 777 at full speed, not having time to stop it. The train never stopped, thereby creating a danger to traffic, miraculously not colliding with an oncoming train in which children were traveling. A number of special operations were carried out to stop this train, but they all ended in failure. One of the engineers, Jedd Stewart, died when he blew himself up in his own train while trying to stop train 777. At this time, Barnes scolds Will for stupidly adding extra cars to their train, but their quarrel is interrupted by train 777 coming towards them. The collision is avoided, and Frank and Will decide to stop train 777, because if it arrives at the city of Stanton, which is already nearby, a disaster will occur, since the railroad there makes a sharp turn on an overpass with a speed limit of 15 km / h, along which the rapidly rushing train (at a speed of 115 km / h) will not be able to pass and will overturn, and train 777 contains containers with explosive substances, which, if damaged, threaten an environmental disaster. Frank's daughters and Will's family are in Stanton right now. After a long and strenuous chase, Frank and Will manage to stop the 777 train.
==Personality==
Although Frank seems like a thick-headed boor who doesn't know how to communicate with people and looks down on newcomers, he is actually a professional in his field. Moreover, seeing the danger that the 777 train, which his colleagues so stupidly set in motion, represents, he rushes to stop it without thinking, not even waiting for the approval of the company's management and relying mainly on his experience.
