Train to Busan (2016)

Seok-woo, a divorced fund manager in Seoul, forgets his daughter Su-an's birthday and misses her school performance of "Aloha 'Oe". He agrees to take her to her mother in Busan. They board the KTX 101 with passengers including Sang-hwa and his pregnant wife Seong-kyeong, the executive Yon-suk, a high school baseball team, two elderly sisters and a homeless man. An infected woman boards at the last second, turns into a zombie and bites an attendant, starting an outbreak.

At Daejeon station, the passengers find that the soldiers have already been overrun and are forced back onto the train, now split up. Seok-woo, Sang-hwa and baseball player Yong-guk fight through zombie-filled carriages to rescue Su-an, Seong-kyeong and others. But the other passengers, led by Yon-suk, block the door, fearing infection. Sang-hwa is bitten and sacrifices himself so the group can get through.

The survivors are forced into the vestibule. One of the elderly sisters, disgusted by their selfishness, opens the door to let the zombies in. At Dongdaegu, the tracks are blocked. A burning train crashes into the carriages, trapping Seok-woo, Su-an and Seong-kyeong. The homeless man sacrifices himself to help them escape. Yon-suk uses others as bait and gets onto a new train.

Seok-woo, Su-an and Seong-kyeong board the train, where Yon-suk turns into a zombie. Seok-woo throws him off, but is bitten. He shows Seong-kyeong how to drive the train, says goodbye to Su-an and, remembering the day she was born, throws himself from the train.

Su-an and Seong-kyeong walk through a tunnel towards Busan. Soldiers are about to shoot them, thinking they are zombies, until Su-an begins singing "Aloha 'Oe". The soldiers realise they are human and bring them to safety.

Does Seok-woo die? Yes. After being bitten, he jumps from the train before he turns, to protect Su-an and Seong-kyeong.

Who survives Train to Busan? Only Su-an and the pregnant Seong-kyeong reach Busan.

Why does Su-an sing "Aloha 'Oe"? It is the song she wanted to sing for her father at her school performance. Singing it shows the soldiers she is human and honours her father.

What caused the outbreak? Seok-woo learns that his own company was indirectly responsible for the outbreak.

What is the message? Seok-woo changes from a selfish man into a father who sacrifices everything, while Yon-suk shows how selfishness destroys people.
