Snowpiercer is a 2013 science fiction action film directed by Bong Joon-ho, based on the French graphic novel “Le Transperceneige” by Jacques Lob, Benjamin Legrand, and Jean-Marc Rochette. The film is set in a post-apocalyptic world where a failed climate-change experiment has killed all life except for the survivors who board the Snowpiercer, a massive train that perpetually travels around the globe.

The story takes place in 2031, 17 years after the experiment, and the train’s survivors are divided by a strict class system. The elites live in luxury at the front of the train, while the poor are confined to the squalid tail section. The film follows Curtis Everett, played by Chris Evans, as he leads a group of tail-section passengers in a revolt against the oppressive regime controlling the train.

The main cast includes:

• Chris Evans as Curtis Everett
• Song Kang-ho as Namgoong Minsoo
• Tilda Swinton as Minister Mason
• Jamie Bell as Edgar
• Octavia Spencer as Tanya
• John Hurt as Gilliam
• Ed Harris as Wilford
