Two decades after the events of The Polar Express (2004), Chris, now an adult struggling with the weight of responsibility and lost childhood dreams, finds himself questioning the magic he once believed in. Has the spirit of Christmas faded, or was it never real to begin with?
But on a snowy Christmas Eve, fate intervenes. A distant whistle echoes through the night, and before Chris can make sense of it, The Polar Express reappears—this time for his own son, Jack. When Jack vanishes aboard the train, Chris has no choice but to chase after him, embarking on a journey through time, memory, and the very essence of belief.
