"Snowpiercer is set in a future where, after a failed experiment to stop global warming, an Ice Age kills off all life on the planet except for the inhabitants of the Snowpiercer, a train that travels around the globe and is powered by a sacred perpetual-motion engine. A class system evolves on the train but a revolution brews."
Snowpiercer is based upon the French graphic novel Le Transperceneige by Jacques Lob and Jean-Marc Rochette, and features an all-star cast that includes Chris Evans (The Avengers), John Hurt (Immortals), Ed Harris (Game Change), Jamie Bell (The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn), Tilda Swinton (We Need to Talk About Kevin) and Octavia Spencer (The Help). The film is due for release later this year.
