A journey like you’ve never imagined.

A boy who has stopped believing in Christmas wakes to find a locomotive at his door, its conductor (Tom Hanks) promising passage to the North Pole. He boards with other children, each carrying their own doubt, as the train barrels through snowy forests toward Santa's workshop. By journey's end, the children stand in falling snow outside, watching the first gift of Christmas dawn.
