The film stars Liam Neeson, Vera Farmiga, Patrick Wilson, Jonathan Banks, Elizabeth McGovern and Sam Neill. The movie follows a man who gets caught up in a murder conspiracy after meeting a mysterious woman while on his daily commute on the train.
Michael (Liam Neeson), an insurance salesman is on his daily commute home in a multi-car commuter train heading out of Manhattan towards upstate New York, when it quickly turns out to become anything but routine. After being contacted by a mysterious stranger, Michael is forced to uncover the identity of a hidden passenger on his train before the last stop.
