The movie is set during the height of the zombie epidemic in the South Korean city of Busan. The story follows a group of passengers on a train to visit their mother in Busan for their daughter’s birthday. As the train departs, signs of chaos from the epidemic reach the station, and an infected woman runs inside, unnoticed, just before the doors close. She soon turns into a zombie, attacks an attendant, and many crew and passengers are quickly turned. The remaining passengers quickly secure themselves in the front and rear cars, observing that the infected zombies only attack if they can see them or hear them nor can operate the train’s doors. They learn from news reports of the rapidly-spreading epidemic across the country, and Seok-woo discovers the biotech plant was connected to his business.
