Travelling to Istanbul, Poirot meets his friend, Bouc ( Tom Bateman ), director of the Orient Express. Receiving a telegram from London about an impending case, Poirot must return home, with Bouc offering him a place onboard the unusually booked Express. Poirot is approached by Samuel Ratchett ( Johnny Depp ), an unpleasant American businessman, to act as his bodyguard during the three - day journey as he has received threatening letters from an unknown party, but Poirot refuses. That night, Poirot hears strange noises coming from Ratchett 's compartment, and witnesses a woman in a red kimono running down the hallway. An avalanche occurs, causing the train to derail, stranding the passengers. The next morning, Poirot learns Ratchett was murdered during the night, as he was stabbed a dozen times. Poirot and Bouc investigate the murder, the latter not amongst the suspects, having slept in another carriage. Evidence indicates that Ratchett was murdered by a lone man, with one passenger, Mrs. Hubbard ( Michelle Pfeiffer ), claiming that a man was in her room during the night. Poirot discovers a partially destroyed note, connecting Ratchett to the case of Daisy Armstrong, a little girl who was abducted from her bedroom and held for ransom. After the ransom was paid, Daisy 's body was found in the woods, murdered. Ratchett is identified as John Cassetti, Daisy 's murderer, her death indirectly causing her mother Sonia to die after giving premature birth to a stillborn baby, and her father, Colonel Armstrong to commit suicide shortly after. The family 's innocent nursemaid, Susanne, was arrested, but hung herself whilst in police custody, only to be found innocent after her death. More evidence is found, including a bloodstained handkerchief with the letter ' H ' on it, and the button of a conductor 's uniform found in Mrs. Hubbard 's compartment. The uniform is later found, as is the kimono, in Poirot 's own suitcase. Mrs. Hubbard is stabbed in the back, but survives, unable to identify the culprit. Through interviews, Poirot discovers several of the passengers have direct connections to the Armstrong family. Whilst interviewing Governess Mary Debenham ( Daisy Ridley ), Poirot is confronted by Dr. John Arbuthnot ( Leslie Odom Jr. ), claiming responsibility for the murder. Arbuthnot, a former sniper, shoots Poirot in the shoulder but is later stopped and incapacitated by Bouc. Poirot realises Arbuthnot never meant to kill him. Poirot assembles all the suspects outside the train, offering two theories to how Ratchett died. The first is simple, Poirot concluding that an assassin disguised as a conductor snuck on the train, murdered Ratchett, and fled. However, the second is more complex. Every suspect is related to the Armstrongs and Susanne and the subsequent trial in some way. Edward Henry Masterman ( Derek Jacobi ), Cassetti 's valet, was Colonel Armstrong 's batman during the war, and later his valet, who also served as butler to the Armstrong household. Dr. Arbuthnot was Colonel Armstrong 's comrade and best friend. Countess Helena Andrenyi ( née Goldenberg ) ( Lucy Boynton ) was Sonia Armstrong 's sister and Daisy 's aunt. Count Ruldoph Andrenyi ( Sergei Polunin ) is the husband of Helena Andrenyi, who loves her dearly and has had to see her struggle with the death of her family ever since. Princess Dragomiroff ( Judi Dench ) was Sonia Armstrong 's godmother, and a friend of her mother. Miss Debenham was Daisy 's governess. Fräulein Hildegarde Schmidt ( Olivia Colman ) was the Armstrong family 's cook. Biniamino Marquez ( Manuel Garcia - Rulfo ) was indebted to the Armstrong family after Colonel Armstrong financed his first business. Miss Pilar Estravados ( Penélope Cruz ), a Spanish missionary, was Daisy 's nurse. Hector MacQueen 's ( Josh Gad ) father was the district attorney for the kidnapping case, whose life and career were ruined after he wrongly prosecuted Susanne for Daisy 's murder. Pierre Michel ( Marwan Kenzari ), the train 's conductor, was the brother of Susanne. Cyrus Hardman ( Willem Dafoe ), Cassetti 's bodyguard who was disguised as an Austrian scholar, was a police officer in love with Susanne. And finally : Mrs. Caroline Hubbard is, in actuality, Linda Arden ( maiden name Goldenberg ), Sonia Armstrong 's mother and Daisy 's grandmother. It was Mrs. Hubbard who initially gathered everyone and orchestrated the murder. The night of the murder, they all took turns stabbing Ratchett in an act of justice. The evidence was planted by the passengers to convince Poirot of a lone killer theory. Poirot challenges the passengers to shoot him, placing his gun in front of the gathered twelve suspects, since he is the only one who can expose their plot. Mrs. Hubbard grabs the gun but instead tries to take her own life. The gun proves to be unloaded, Poirot wishing to see how the suspects would react. During this time, the Train is lifted back onto the track by a rescue team. Poirot concludes that there is no justice to be found in the case, and Ratchett deserved his fate. He states that, for the first time, he will have to live with imbalance. He presents his lone killer theory to the Yugoslavian police as the correct one, allowing the passengers to leave. Poirot disembarks the train, only to be approached by a messenger, learning about a death upon the Nile, and is asked to investigate it. Poirot takes on the case as the Orient Express departs.

Principal photography on the film began on November 22, 2016, in the United Kingdom and wrapped in May 2017. It used some of the same 65mm film cameras as Christopher Nolan 's Dunkirk, which Branagh had acted in shortly before this production. These two were among the very few to be shot on 65mm film since Branagh 's Hamlet in 1996, and the only ones released in 2017. Release Murder on the Orient Express was released in the United Kingdom on November 3, 2017 and in the United States on November 10, 2017, by 20th Century Fox. The first look at the film and cast was released on May 3 in an exclusive article by Entertainment Weekly. Box office As of November 13, 2017, Murder on the Orient Express has grossed $28.7 million in the United States and Canada, and $58.8 million in other territories, for a worldwide total of $87.5 million, against a production budget of $55 million. In the United States and Canada, Murder on the Orient Express was released alongside Daddy 's Home 2, and was projected to gross around $20 million from 3,341 theaters in its opening weekend. The film made $10.9 million on its first day, including $1.6 million from Thursday night previews at 2,775 theaters. It ended up grossing $28.7 million, finishing 3rd at the box office behind holdover Thor : Ragnarok and Daddy 's Home 2. 51 % of the film 's opening weekend audience was over the age of 35. Critical response On review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, the film has an approval rating of 58 % based on 177 reviews, with an average rating of 6.1 / 10. The site 's critical consensus reads, `` Stylish production and an all - star ensemble keep this Murder on the Orient Express from running off the rails, even if it never quite builds up to its classic predecessor 's illustrious head of steam. '' On Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating to reviews, the film has a weighted average score of 52 out of 100, based on 41 critics, indicating `` mixed or average reviews ''. Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of `` B '' on an A+ to F scale. Leah Greenblatt of Entertainment Weekly gave the film a B+ and called the film `` a lushly old - fashioned adaptation wrapped in a veritable turducken of pearls, monocles, and international movie stars. '' Blake Goble of Consequence of Sound said `` Handsomely staged, exceptionally well - cast, and reasonably faithful, Branagh has revived Murder on the Orient Express in a highly pleasing fashion. '' Trace Thurman of Bloody Disgusting gave the film three and a half skulls and said `` For those looking for an involving murder mystery that is respectful of its source material and filled with an all - star cast, look no further than Murder on the Orient Express. '' Matt Goldberg of Collider gave the film a B − calling it a `` handsomely crafted production '' albeit one that `` falls apart at the climax of the film. '' On the negative side, Matthew Jacobs of The Huffington Post was impressed by the cast but ultimately felt `` Agatha Christie 's whodunit has no steam. '' Peter Travers of Rolling Stone found that there were many dull moments and that the film was a needless remake. Richard Roeper of the Chicago Sun - Times gave the film two and a half stars, and stated that he felt the film focused too much on Poirot, to the detriment of the other characters, saying, `` Never let it be said the director misses an opportunity to place his star front and center, unfortunately relegating just about everyone else in the obligatory International All - Star Cast to a paper - thin character with one or at most two defining personality traits. '' Ignatiy Vishnevetsky of The A.V. Club rated the film a C+ and complained that Branagh 's `` erratic direction -- more interested in cut glass and overhead shots than in suspicions and uncertainties -- bungles both the perfect puzzle logic of the crime and its devious solution. '' Possible sequels In 2015, James Prichard, Chairman of Agatha Christie Ltd. and Christie 's great - grandson, expressed enthusiasm for sequels, citing the collaboration with Branagh and the production team. In May 2017, Branagh expressed interest in further installments if the film is a success.
