A bleak, allegorical action-thriller about class warfare and survival aboard a perpetually moving train in a frozen wasteland, driven by both visceral tension and ideological conflict.

In a future where a failed global-warming experiment kills off most life on the planet, a class system evolves aboard the Snowpiercer; a train that travels around the globe via a perpetual-motion engine.
