Snowpiercer (2013) is a riveting dystopian sci-fi film set in a world devastated by a failed experiment to halt climate change. All life on Earth has perished, except for the passengers on the Snowpiercer, a colossal train designed to constantly circle the globe. As the train hurtles through an icy and desolate landscape, a new class system emerges, segregating the passengers into different sections.
At the front of the train, the elite live in luxury, enjoying lavish lifestyles and indulging in decadence. In contrast, the tail section houses the less privileged, suffering in squalor and subsisting on minimal provisions. Led by Curtis, a determined and resourceful passenger, a rebellion begins to brew among the oppressed in the tail section.
What unfolds is a captivating and harrowing journey as Curtis and his ally, Gilliam, traverse through each compartment of the train, encountering both allies and adversaries in their quest for justice and equality.
