TRAIN TO BUSAN
Seok-Woo, a fund manager who was divorced with his wife earlier, decides to take his daughter Su-an to her mother in Busan as her birthday gift. They board the KTX (a Korean bullet train) at a station in Seoul
which is also occupied by the tough working-class husband Sang-hwa and
his pregnant wife Seong-kyeong, a high school baseball team, rich but
selfish CEO Yon-suk, elderly sisters In-gil and Jon-gil, and a homeless
man.
As the train departs, a spasmodic young woman boards the train with a
bite wound on her leg and is succumbed. Zombified, she attacks a
passing female train attendant who attempted to resuscitate her, and the
zombie infection spreads. They infect the baseball team and the other
passengers, except Yong-guk, his girlfriend Jin-hee, and two other
students fleeing to the front car. News broadcast reports about the zombie outbreak around Korea.
The train stops at Daejeon which is seemingly void. While the
passengers disembark, they come across the infected military zone and
retreat. Zombies break through the room above the train, causing
Seong-kyeong, Jon-gil and the homeless man to separate to the rear train
and into the bathroom with Su-an. Realizing the dire situation they are
in, the conductor operates the train to Busan, where news of successful
decontamination has been heard.
Seok-Woo realized that Su-an was not at her seat. He races with
Sang-hwa and Yong-guk to rescue his daughter and others before being
chased back by the horde of infected passengers. They manage to reach
the front train car, but Yon-suk and the passengers had locked the car
door before them, fearing infection. Yong-guk tries to break the front
door open while Seok-Woo and Sang-hwa try to block the zombies entering
their cabin. However, Sang-hwa is bitten. He tells Seok-Woo to flee and
asks him to take care of Seong-kyeong as he begins to transform into a
zombie. Just as Yong-guk and Seok-Woo force the door open hindered by
stubborn people, Jon-gil sacrifices herself to buy the others' time to
escape to the safe cabin, disheartening In-gil.
Outraged by carelessness, Seok-Woo punches Yon-suk in retaliation,
but Yon-suk mistakenly claims that the latter is infected due to
splattered blood. Yon-suk and the other passengers fearfully demand the
escapees to isolate to another car and Jin-hee joins them. In-gil
realizes that her sister Jon-gil, who is seen zombified behind the door,
had took her own life for the sake of others' lives, and she angrily
sees the selfishness of other passengers behind her. To pay for their
neglectfulness, she thankfully opens the door, letting the zombies rush
in and kill the passengers except Yon-suk and an attendant seeking
shelter in one of the restrooms. Seok-woo gets a call from one of his
employees who said that the outbreak was caused by one of their
projects.
Due to a train wreck at East Daegu train station, the survivors are
forced to stop. As they try to find another train, they are attacked.
Yon-Suk gives the attendant to the zombies to escape. He then throws
Jin-Hee to a zombie to save himself. Despondent Yong-guk tries to
comfort infected Jin-Hee but is attacked. The conductor who activates
the last locomotive saves Yon-suk captured by zombies, but Yon-suk runs
to the train, leaving the conductor consumed. After the homeless man
defends others from zombies to death, Seok-Woo, Su-an and Seong-kyeong
successfully board the locomotive. However, Yon-Suk had been inside the
engine room in the verge of infection. Seok-Woo fights zombified Yon-suk
off, but he is bitten before he throws him off the train.
Not wanting to kill his fellow survivors, Seok-woo pleas Seong-kyeong
and Su-an that he needs to let himself go, agonizing his daughter. He
commits suicide by falling down the train before he is transformed.
Later, Seong-kyeong and Su-an stop at the blocked tunnel's entrance to
Busan and walk through it. At the exit, soldiers spot two of them in the
tunnel. But since they cannot identify them in the darkness, their
commander orders them to shoot. As the soldiers prepare to fire, one of
them hears a child singing a song, realizing that both are not zombies
but survivors. They rush for the rescue while Su-an tearfully sings.
