Snowpiercer is a 2013 science-fiction dystopian action film directed by Bong Joon-ho and stars Chris Evans, Song Kang-ho, Tilda Swinton, and Octavia Spencer.
The film is set in the year 2031, where a failed experiment to counteract global warming has caused an ice age, wiping out all life on Earth except for the passengers on the Snowpiercer. The train is divided into a class system, with the wealthy and powerful riding in luxurious front cars while the poor and oppressed reside in the back.
Curtis (Chris Evans) leads a revolt with the help of other lower-class passengers, including Gilliam (John Hurt), Edgar (Jamie Bell), and Tanya (Octavia Spencer). They fight their way through each car, facing brutal resistance from the elite soldiers led by Mason (Tilda Swinton), who is the voice of Wilford, the creator of the train.
As they move toward the front, Curtis begins to unravel the truth about Wilford's motive for building Snowpiercer. They eventually meet the mysterious Wilford (Ed Harris), who reveals a shocking revelation about the Snowpiercer itself.
The film is critically acclaimed for its unique premise, intense action scenes, and social commentary on class and inequality. It was also praised for Bong Joon-ho's direction and the performances of its ensemble cast.
