Overview
Snowpiercer is a 2013 action, science‑fiction and drama film with a runtime of 2 hours 7 minutes. It was released in the United States on 27 June 2014. The story is set in a future where a failed global‑warming experiment has exterminated most life on Earth. Humanity’s survivors are confined to a massive train that circles the globe on a perpetual‑motion engine. Within the train a rigid class system develops, separating passengers by status and privilege. The film was inspired by the post‑apocalyptic graphic novel of the same name and features Chris Evans in a starring role. The narrative follows the struggle of those aboard the train as they confront the social hierarchy imposed by the endless journey.
