The Railway Man

The Railway Man Official Trailer #1 (2013) - Nicole Kidman, Colin Firth Movie HD

A victim from World War II's "Death Railway" sets out to find those responsible for his torture. A true story.

During World War II, Eric Lomax (Irvine) is a British officer who is captured by the Japanese and sent to a POW camp, where he is forced to work on the Thai-Burma Railway north of the Peninsula of Malaysia. During his time in the camp, Lomax is tortured by the Kempetai primarily for building a radio.

Years later and still suffering the psychological trauma of his wartime experiences, with the help of his wife Patti (Kidman) and best friend Finlay (Skarsgård), Lomax (Firth) decides to find and confront one of his captors. He returns to the scene of his torture after he has tracked down Japanese officer Takashi Nagase (Sanada) "in an attempt let go of a lifetime of bitterness and hate".
