Had Night Train To Kathmandu been made 40 years earlier this would have been a perfect film for Sabu. Sabu also would have had first billing in the credits as well instead of villain Pernell Roberts. Part Sabu adventure, part Lost Horizon, part Brigadoon, Night Train To Kathmandu has American visiting professor Robert Stoeckle taking his family to Kathmandu, Nepal's capital to teach at their university, the family consists of wife Jan Pesano also a professor and children Milla Jovovich and Trevor Eyster. The family meets up with young Eddie Castrodad who kind of attaches himself to the family to get where he has to go.Which is a mythical Brigadoon like city who we would say exists in another dimension. But every so often the ruler of the city has to venture forth into our world, but make sure to go back lest some dire consequences occur. What they are I won't tell, but even the scholars aren't quite sure. It's all part of Nepalese mythology. Pernell Roberts also a visiting professor publicly scoffs, but actually thinks it's real and he's determined to go there.So is young Milla Jovovich who likes what she sees in the boy who looks like a beggar, but says he's a prince. This is a Sabu plot if I ever heard one.But I'm not scoffing. Night Train To Kathmandu is a nice family style adventure. If your kids see this one, put a copy of Lost Horizon in their hands.You may inspire folks to see if there is a Shangri-La.

Well, let me start by saying that I was probably 10 or 11 when I watched the movie for the first time, and by that time I just thought it was great. It is a really good movie. It is about 2 teenagers that fall in love with each other, however they do not end up together, I have to admit that is really sad!! I do not remember pretty well, but I think that he was a prince and he lived in an unknown place, then, he asked her to come with him, but she hesitated about it, and finally let him go to his kingdom.I think that not everybody knows that Milla Jovovich starred in this movie, that was one of the first movies that she starred and I really liked it.

The story is lame, the acting is hokie, but it all works to be a fully enjoyable tv movie. Milla is so charming in this without being sensual or sexy. I give it a 7. A movie that is more than the sum of its parts.

I love this movie! I remember first seeing it , and thinking it was just so wonderful! The romance and suspense is beautiful! Because of this movie, I have considered the name Kathmandu Nepal as a name for a little girl! (Crazy as that may seem!!)
