In ‘Bullet Train’, Brad Pitt stars as Ladybug, an unlucky assassin determined to do his job peacefully after one too many gigs gone off the rails. Fate, however, may have other plans, as Ladybug’s latest mission puts him on a collision course with lethal adversaries from around the globe – all with connected, yet conflicting, objectives – on the world’s fastest train…and he’s got to figure out how to get off. From the director of ‘Deadpool 2’, David Leitch, the end of the line is only the beginning in a wild, non-stop thrill ride through modern-day Japan.

‘Bullet Train’ stars Brad Pitt, Joey King, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Brian Tyree Henry, Andrew Koji, Hiroyuki Sanada, Michael Shannon, Benito A MartÍnez Ocasio and Sandra Bullock.
