Train to Busan

In the heart of South Korea, a devastating outbreak of a mysterious virus throws the nation into chaos, transforming ordinary citizens into bloodthirsty zombies. Amidst the panic, one man’s journey becomes a race against time in the intense thriller, “Train to Busan.”

Seok-woo, a workaholic fund manager, is estranged from his young daughter, Soo-an, after his recent divorce. As they board a train from Seoul to Busan to visit her mother, their plans for a simple trip quickly unravel. When news of the outbreak breaks, the train becomes a refuge for the terrified passengers, but it also turns into a deadly battleground.

As the train speeds toward Busan, more passengers join the chaotic ride, each bringing their stories and struggles. Among them are the courageous and resourceful Sang-hwa and his pregnant wife, Seon-kyung, who fight tooth and nail to protect their future child. A brash high school baseball team adds spirit to the mix, while an elderly man and a group of frightened women bring heart to the unfolding nightmare.

With the train barreling ahead, Seok-woo must navigate not only the relentless onslaught of zombies but also the darker aspects of humanity that emerge in crisis. As fear drives his fellow passengers to betrayal and cowardice, Seok-woo reluctantly steps up as a leader, realizing that the bonds of family and sacrifice hold more weight than any corporate success.
