Train to Busan
Seok-woo, a fund manager by profession,
isn’t able to spend quality time with his
daughter, Su-an. On the eve of her birthday
he plans to visit his separated wife in
Busan to make it up to Su-an. Their co-
passengers on board the Korean High-
speed rail from Seoul to Busan include
people from different walks of life - a CEO,
a husband and pregnant wife, a group of
high school kids, a couple of elderly sisters
and a homeless
The train departs and the journey starts
with the arrival of a woman who doesn't
seem normal at the first glance. With a
bite wound on her leg, she definitely
seems infected by the zombies.
Immediately this woman turns into a
zombie too. Seeing her, a passing femaleattendant tries to help her but the woman
attacks her too. Soon this zombie infection
starts spreading over to the other
travellers. Before long, the news broadcast
about the zombies spreads far and wide
throughout the cities in Korea.Seok-Woo
takes Sang-hwa and Yong-guk with him to
find his daughter who is missing from her
seat in the train. But he is chased by a
group of passengers who are infected. Yon-
suk and other survivors had locked the car
door behind them to prevent the zombies
from entering. Seok-Woo and Sang-hwa try
hard to keep them away while Yong-guk
tries to break the locked door to stay safe.
Meanwhile, Sang-hwa is infected and
before he turns into a zombie completely,
he gives his wife’s responsibility to Seok-
Woo.Just then, Jong-gil sees In-gil as a zombie,
blames fellow passengers for being selfish
and angrily opens the door for the infected
ones to enter and kill the passengers. But
Yon-suk and an attendant are saved as
they take shelter in one of the restrooms.
Seok-woo learns that Busan is safe with a
call from his employee.
There is an unexpected halt for the train
as the rail track is blocked at East Daegu
station. They find another train to escape
but are attacked immediately. Yon-Suk
throws the attendant and Jin-hee towards
the zombies to avoid their attack.Jin-hee is
completely infected by now and bites Yong-
suk who was actually trying to comfort her.
After a huge ordeal, Yon-suk is saved from
the zombies as the conductor finds and
activates a locomotive on another track.By then Yon-suk is also infected and
leaves the conductor to be consumed.
While Seok-woo, Su-an and Seong-kyeong
successfully board the locomotive, the
homeless man sacrifices his life to save
other passengers. But they see Yon-suk
turning into a zombie and Seok-woo tries
to fight but he also gets bitten and throws
Yon-suk off the train. Seok-woo pleads
Seong-kyeong to take care of his daughter
and commits suicide by falling off the train
to prevent others from getting bitten by
him.
Finally, there are two survivors at the end
of the blocked tunnel who walk through it
and are spotted by soldiers. The soldiers
question if they are survivors or zombies
as the vision isn’t too clear. But just when
they are about to fire, they hear Su-an
singing. She continues to sing while theyboth are rescued from this unforgettable
journey on the train to Busan.
