The movie Snowpiercer is about a post-apocalyptic future where a failed attempt to stop climate change causes a new ice age, freezing the entire Earth. The last survivors of humanity live aboard a perpetually moving train called the Snowpiercer, which travels a track encircling the globe. The train is rigidly divided by class, with an elite wealthy group in the front cars and oppressed poor people in the tail section. The story follows Curtis, a leader of the tail-section residents, as he leads a revolt against the elite at the front of the train. Along the way, the passengers confront brutal conditions, uncover dark secrets about their survival, and face critical moral choices. The film explores themes of social inequality, class struggle, and survival in a frozen wasteland.
Additionally, Snowpiercer is also a TV series set seven years after the world becomes a frozen wasteland, following the remnants of humanity aboard the same type of perpetual moving train. The show expands on the social hierarchy, class warfare, and politics of survival among the train’s passengers.
