Colin Firth, Nicole Kidman and Stellan Skarsgard star in The Railway Man, a war drama adapted from Eric Lomax's memoirs about his experiences in a POW camp.
While serving in the Second World War, British Army officer Eric Lomax (Jeremy Irvine) is captured and held prisoner by the Japanese. He is brutally tortured and forced, along with his fellow captives, to build the Thai-Burma Railway. Many years later an older Lomax (Firth) is still traumatised by the experience. Supported by his wife Patti (Kidman) and friend Finlay (Skarsgard), he decides to track down one of his torturers, Takashi Nagase (Hiroyuki Sanada), hoping to find the answers that will enable him to finally let go of the hatred he has held for so long.

"Wrenching, profound and beautifully made, The Railway Man is one of the stunning don't-miss surprises of the still-young 2014." New York Observer
"An impressively crafted, skillfully acted, highly absorbing journey into a dark corner of world history." Los Angeles Times
"The result is an old-fashioned war film with echoes of The Bridge on the River Kwai, melded with a stirring story of truth, reconciliation and healing. Only a hardhearted cynic would be unmoved." Film Journal International
