Tapped Wires(1916)

Tapped Wires is a silent-era crime film centered on a daring train robbery. Crooks immobilize a woman named Helen to keep her from alerting the engineer, then board a moving express train to dynamite the safe and disable the messenger. Helen pursues them by car, managing to overtake the locomotive, but the thieves spot her first and leap from the speeding train directly into her vehicle before she can warn the crew. The film captures the high-stakes tension of early 20th-century heist cinema, with chases and action unfolding across both rail and road.
