Based on the novella by Denis Johnson, TRAIN DREAMS is the portrait of Robert Grainier (Joel Edgerton), whose life unfolds in an era of unprecedented change in America. Robert grows into adulthood among the 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. But when his life takes an unexpected turn, Robert finds beauty, brutality, and meaning in what’s next.

Official selection: TIFF, Sundance Film Festival
