Train to Busan

Director: Yeon Sang-ho

2016 / 118min / DCP

Divorced, depressed, and brutally overworked, hedge fund manager Seok-woo (Gong Yoo) has hardly any time to devote to his young daughter, Su-an (Kim Su-an), so the birthday trip they’re taking together—a 280-mile train ride from Seoul to Busan, where they’re going to meet with her mother—is a very, very big deal. Life or death, in fact, because while en route a zombie apocalypse breaks out across Korea and on the speeding train itself, leaving Seok-woo, Su-an, and a dwindling handful of uninfected passengers to fight for their lives all the way to their final destination… if it’s still there. “A public-transportation horror movie with a side helping of class warfare… Lean and clean.” —The New York Times
