All Aboard a Trip of a Lifetime!

Wrestling with doubts over Santa Claus’ existence, a skeptical youngster hears the familiar sound of a train which interrupts his troubled sleep. And then, much to his surprise, the conductor invites him on board the magnificent Polar Express. From there, he goes on an unforgettable and magical adventure all the way up to the frozen landscapes of the vast North Pole.

Will he and the rest of the young non-believers aboard the train finally find the true spirit of Christmas?
