A father (Gong-Yoo), and his daughter (Soo-An Kim), are boarding the KTX, a high-speed train, that will take them from Seoul to Busan. During their journey, the apocalypse begins, and most of the earth’s population becomes flesh-craving zombies. While the KTX is shooting towards Busan, the passenger’s fight for their families and lives against the zombies… and each other.

Welcome to another foreign-film edition of Johnny Has the Keys and our return to the ever-growing popular sub-genre of the zombie apocalypse. Train to Busan (2016) delivers exactly what you’d expect—a fast-paced thrill-ride filled with exciting, and often inventive, zombie horror. Join us as we discuss its origins, and the fantastic cast, script, and director. Listen as Johnny Has the Keys boards an express railway to hell, where every car holds a new surprise, and zombies may not be your only enemy.
