Train to Busan | K-Wave
-
Tue 13 Oct
Divorced businessman Seok-woo devotes most of his attention to work and far too little to his daughter Su-an. For her birthday, she wants only one thing: to visit her mother in Busan. Reluctantly, Seok-woo joins her on the high-speed train from Seoul.
Just before departure, an injured woman manages to get on board. She is infected with a virus that rapidly transforms people into violent zombies. As the outbreak spreads across South Korea, the passengers must fight their way through the train. Every carriage brings a new danger, and the greatest threat does not always come from the infected.
Director Yeon Sang-ho turns Train to Busan into a breathless combination of zombie horror, action and social criticism. Beneath the panic and bloody confrontations lies a story about selfishness, class and how much we are prepared to sacrifice for others when society begins to collapse.
Train to Busan is part of K-Wave, a series exploring the global impact of Korean cinema. The film is spoken in Korean and presented with English subtitles.
