Train to Busan 3 (2025) takes the thrilling zombie franchise to new heights, delivering another heart-pounding survival story in a post-apocalyptic South Korea. The trailer begins with a sweeping aerial shot of a ruined cityscape, overtaken by vegetation and abandoned vehicles, setting the tone for a world where humanity is on the verge of extinction. A chilling voiceover declares, “The virus has evolved. So must we.”
In this third installment, a group of survivors is introduced, including a military leader, a former train engineer, and a mother with her young child, each struggling with their past traumas. They are part of a mission to escape Seoul, which has become completely overrun by zombies. The survivors have discovered that an island off the Korean coast may be the last true safe zone, but the only way to reach it is by train—reigniting the series’ signature motif of survival on the rails.
The trailer quickly shifts to scenes of chaos as the survivors board an armored high-speed train, modified with reinforced steel and weaponized compartments. The action escalates as zombies—faster and even more dangerous than before—swarm the train at every opportunity. Fans of the series will recognize the intense, claustrophobic atmosphere, with survivors forced to fight their way through narrow train cars, using whatever weapons they can find.
As the group speeds toward the coast, they learn of a new threat: the virus has mutated, creating a new breed of hyper-aggressive, intelligent zombies capable of working together to tear down barricades and hunt in packs. In a particularly terrifying scene, the undead manage to breach the train’s defenses, leading to a frantic, bloody battle in the cramped, dark cars.
The trailer teases emotional moments, where the characters must make heart-wrenching sacrifices to protect their loved ones. The final shot shows the train hurtling toward the ocean as a massive horde of zombies converges on them, leaving fans on the edge of their seats.
