Train Dreams

From Oscar nominees Clint Bently and Greg Kwedar, the duo behind Sing Sing, comes TRAIN DREAMS, a moving portrait of Robert Grainier (Joel Edgerton), a family man whose life unfolds during an era of unprecedented change in early 20th century America.

Orphaned at a young age, Robert (Edgerton) grows into adulthood among the towering forests of the Pacific Northwest, where he helps expand the nation’s railroad empire alongside men as unforgettable as the landscapes they inhabit. After a tender courtship, he marries Gladys (Felicity Jones) and they build a home together, though his work often takes him far from her and their young daughter. When his life takes an unexpected turn, Robert finds beauty, brutality and newfound meaning for the forests and trees he has felled.

An ode to a vanishing way of life, an ever-evolving world, and to the extraordinary possibilities that exist within even the simplest of existences, TRAIN DREAMS captures a time and place that are now long gone, and the people who built a bridge to a future they could only dream of.
