Synopsis: (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Train_to_Busan)
Seok-Woo, a divorced fund manager, is a workaholic and absentee father to his young daughter, Soo-an. For her birthday the next day, she wishes for her father to bring her to Busan to see her mother. They board the KTX at a station in Seoul, also occupied by tough working-class husband Sang-hwa and his pregnant wife Seong-kyeong, a high school baseball team, a rich but selfish CEO Yon-suk, elderly sisters In-gil and Jon-gil, and a homeless man.
As the train departs, a convulsing young woman boards the train with a bite wound on her leg. The woman becomes a zombie, attacking a train attendant who also turns into a zombie. The infection quickly spreads throughout the train. Baseball player Yong-guk, a girl named Jin-hee who has a crush on him, and several passengers manage to escape to another car. News broadcasts report zombie outbreaks throughout the country. The train stops at Daejeon, but the surviving passengers find that the city has also been overrun, and they hastily retreat back to the train, splitting up in the chaos. The conductor restarts the train to head to Busan, where a successful quarantine zone has reportedly been established.
Seok-Woo, Sang-hwa and Yong-guk fight their way to where Su-an, In-gil, and Seong-kyeong are hiding, and together they struggle through the zombie horde to the front train car, where the other passengers are sheltered. However, Yon-suk and the other passengers deliberately block the survivors from entering, believing they have been bitten. Sang-hwa and In-gil sacrifice themselves to give the others time to force open the door and enter the car. Fearing that the newcomers may be infected, Yon-suk and the others demand that they isolate themselves in the vestibule. When Jong-gil deliberately opens the door to the zombies to be with her zombified sister In-gil, the zombies kill the rest of the passengers, leaving Seok-Woo, Su-an and Seong-kyeong safe, as they are in the vestibule. Yon-suk and the train attendant escape the onslaught by hiding in the bathroom.
A blocked track at East Daegu train station forces the survivors to stop and search for another train. In the process, Seok Woo, Seong Kyeong, Su-An, and the homeless man are separated from Yong-guk and Jin-hee after a burning train crashes. Yon-suk escapes after pushing the train attendant to be eaten by the zombies, then does the same with Jin-Hee. Heartbroken, Yong-Guk stays with Jin-Hee, and is bitten by her. The train conductor starts a locomotive on another track, but is also killed by zombies while trying to save Yon-suk. The homeless man sacrifices himself to let Su-an and Seong-kyeong escape with Seok-Woo into the train the conductor had activated. They encounter Yon-suk in the engine room, on the verge of turning into a zombie. Seok-woo fights him off, but is himself bitten. He puts Su-an and Seong-kyeong inside the engine room, and shares his last words with his daughter before moving outside. As he zombifies, he thinks of the first time he held his daughter in his arms, and throws himself off the locomotive with a smile.
Su-an and Seong-kyeong get off at Busan, and begin walking through the tunnel. Unable to see them clearly, the soldiers at the checkpoint are instructed to shoot them. However, the soldiers are startled to hear singing, prompting them to descend on the tunnel to rescue them: it is Su-an, tearfully singing the song that she had wanted to sing for her father at the beginning of the film, in honor of his heroic sacrifice.
