SYNOPSIS: From acclaimed director Bong Joon Ho (The Host, Mother, Memories of Murder), and executive producer Park Chan-Wook (Oldboy), a new sci-fi epic based on the French graphic novel, featuring a powerhouse international cast. It’s been 18 years since a failed global-warming experiment froze the earth and killed off most life on the planet. The few remaining humans live on the Snowpiercer, a train on an infinite loop around the globe. For those at the front, it’s a lavish paradise of drugs and sushi in the lap of luxury; for those trapped in the tail section, life is short and cruel. But change is in the air. Curtis (Chris Evans), desperate to escape the tail of the train, plans an uprising, aided by his mentor Gilliam (John Hurt). What begins as an isolated riot explodes into a mass revolution, an all-or-nothing push to the front of the train, and a war for humanity’s future. Also staring Tilda Swinton, Ed Harris, Jamie Bell, Octavia Spencer and Song Kang-ho.
