Snowpiercer (DVD)

A failed global-warming experiment kills off nearly all life on the planet. Earth is a frozen wasteland and the human race has been decimated. The final survivors of this new Ice Age live aboard the Snowpiercer, a vast and unstoppable train that traverses the globe via a perpetual-motion engine. It is 2031, where segregation, brutality and armed guards rule the train...with the dispossessed and disadvantaged living at the back in unending fear and darkness. But a rebellion is being secretly planned and to make this uprising successful, the rebels must storm the front carriages, where the source of the Snowpiercer's power lies--The Sacred Engine! Take that...and they take control of life itself. Snowpiercer is now racing full-throttle towards an apocalyptic disaster. Chris Evans, Tilda Swinton, Octavia Spencer, Jamie Bell, Ed Harris and John Hurt join an international cast for "a slambam sci-fi thriller with a brain, a heart and an artful sense of purpose. You're in for a wild whoosh of a ride". PETER TRAVERS - ROLLING STONE
