The wildly hilarious new film from Adam Shankman (Hairspray, The Wedding Planner) Stop! That! Train! combines absurd comedy, outrageous drag, and high-speed disaster-movie chaos to deliver a nonstop thrill ride of action, glamour, and laugh-out-loud camp.


DeeDee (Jujubee) and Tess (Ginger Minj) are grateful for their jobs as train stewardesses for Stank Rail, but they dream of the big time aboard the luxurious Glamazonian Express. When the chance comes to upgrade to those iconic red uniforms, they jump at it—only for their journey to be derailed by a massive “stormaganza” threatening everyone on board. As panic spreads among a train full of celebrities and elite passengers, DeeDee and Tess must step up to save the day. With help from President Gagwell (RuPaul) and a woman with glasses (Rachel Bloom), they just might pull it off. Featuring Sarah Michelle Gellar, Monét X Change, Matt Rogers, Nicole Richie, Chris Parnell, and Lisa Rinna—among many, many others—Stop! That! Train! is a star-studded affair and guaranteed instant Queer classic.
