Snowpiercer (film)

Snowpiercer is a 2013 science-fiction action film based on the French graphic novel Le Transperceneige by Jacques Lob, Benjamin Legrand and Jean-Marc Rochette.
==Plot==
After an attempt to stop global warming via climate engineering castastrophically backfires, creating a new ice age in 2014, the remnants of humanity have taken to a circumnavigational train, the Snowpiercer, run by reclusive transportation magnate Wilford. By 2031, the passengers on the train have become segregated by class, with the elite in the extravagant front cars while the poor are forced into squalid tail compartments by armed guards.
Urged by his father-figure Gilliam, Curtis and his second-in-command Edgar lead the tail passengers on a revolt after they realize the guards' have no ammunition. They free Namgoong, a captive security specialist, and his clairvoyant daughter Yona. Namgoong helps the tail army progress forward, but soon end up in a deadlock with more guards equipped with axes, overseen by Minister Mason. In the ensuring fight, Curtis allows Edgar to be killed so he can capture Mason and use her as a bargaining chip to end the battle. The tail army stays back to hold the guards captive, while Curtis takes Mason along with Namgoong, Yona, skilled fighter Grey, and Tanya and Andrew, two parents who have had their children taken from them to the front section of the train. They are unaware that Franco, loyal to Mason, escapes the tail army to rally more guards.
Curtis' group travels through the first of of several opulent cars. Namgoong and Yona recognize a landmark outside and consider that the ice may be thawing. The group eventually reaches a schoolroom, where the teacher is indoctrinating the children on Wilford's greatness, just before they open eggs to celebrate the eighteenth "New Year", each of which has marked one circumnavigation of the Earth. The teacher uses this as a distraction to attack and kill Andrew before Grey kills her. In the tail section, Franco uses the distraction to kill the tail army and capture Gilliam. Franco sends a live feed to the television in the classroom as he executes Gilliam; Curtis, in return, kills Mason. Curtis's group moves on, but Franco soon catches up to them. Tanya and Grey are killed after fighting and seemingly killing Franco; Curtis, Namgoong and Yona continue onward.
They reach the last car before the engine. Namgoong reveals he and Yona had been collecting Kronole, an addictive drug but also a potent explosive, which he wants to use to blow the door to the outside, believing they can survive. Curtis stops them, as he wants to meet Wilford; Curtis explains that when he was a youth, the tail section had turned to cannibalism, and he had been nearly ready to eat the infant Edgar but Gilliam offered him his arm instead. Curtis wants to face Wilford to ask why he created this closed ecosystem. Just then, the engine door opens, and Wilford's assistant Claude emerges and wounds Namgoong before inviting Curits inside.
Curtis meets Wilford, and to his shock learns that he and Gilliam had been working together to stage Curtis's rebellion as to reduce the population to sustain life on the train. Wilford orders 74% of the tail passengers to be killed. Wilford then offers Curtis to take his role in leading the train. Curtis appears ready to accept when Yona overpowers Claude, rushes in, and pulls open a floorboard to reveal a child from the tail section, Timmy, working the engine as a slave. Appalled, Curtis knocks out Wilford and rescues Timmy from the machinery, though he loses his arm in the process. Curtis gives Yona matches to light the fuse for the Kronole, while Namgoong fights and kills Franco, who had followed them. As the door to the engine room will not close, Curtis and Namgoong use their bodies to protect Yona and Timmy from the blast.
The explosion causes an avalanche that derails the train. Shortly afterwards, Yona and Timmy escape the wreckage, and spot a polar bear in the distance, indicating that life exists outside the train.
