A ‘mild-mannered man in a suit’ was how Bong Joon Ho’s script originally described the bureaucrat quelling an uprising in this post-apocalyptic thriller set on a train.

Adapted from a French graphic novel, Bong's second foray into science fiction is a sophisticated political satire set in the sub-zero dystopia of an environmentally damaged world. The last remnants of humanity survive aboard a class-riven train - the perfect metaphor for capitalism gone awry. With a stellar international cast, breathtaking landscapes, and an incisive and witty script, Bong reflects on the perniciousness of inequality.

Snowpiercer was never released in UK cinemas, so don't miss this rare chance to see it on the UK’s biggest screen.
