"My friend, you suffer from the misplaced optimism of the doomed." - Mason

Why watch this? ... it's a creative, intense spin on a dystopian Earth in a frozen future.

Plot Summary: In a frozen post-apocalyptic world, the last remnants of humanity live aboard the Snowpiercer, a massive train perpetually circling the globe. Within the train, a rigid class system has emerged, with the impoverished lower classes relegated to the tail sections and the wealthy elite residing in the front. A group of tail section inhabitants, led by a determined revolutionary, decides to fight their way through the train's cars and overthrow the oppressive ruling class.

Dad's Preview: This film is a fresh take on its genre. Thanks to it's superb character development, we feel a definite sense of connection to the weary back-enders, and their revolt to storm the train's engine. Unlike the students at Kent State years ago, let's hope our film's usurpers find the answers they are seeking. At least, they will be free.
