Commentary by memnarch (who has not seen the movie)
I could probably come up with a better plan, but I wouldn’t be able to tell anyone about it ahead of time. Besides the meta-plan knowledge, this seems fairly reasonable. It also handily explains why this group of bandits needed a combat hauler.
I am interested to see what these “Vipers” end up being. I’m picturing some automated gun turrets that have a snake-like shape to them. I’m hoping the camera shaped objects circled in red are the “security beams”; they don’t look like they’d be cool enough from this distance.

Beckett: So here’s the plan. Rio drops us on the train there and jams their distress signal.
Beckett: We separate the cargo container, cable it to the AT-hauler, and...
Val: I blow the bridge, the container slips off the track, and we sail away.
Beckett: You trip that security beam, wake up those Vipers, it’s liable to get real spicy, real fast.
Chi’ra: This sounds insanely dangerous.
Val: You got a better plan, kid?
Chi’ra: No, I’m saying I like it!
