"The Polar Express" is based on the modern holiday classic written by children's author Chris Van Allsburg and follows the journey of a young boy named Billy who doubts the existence of Santa Claus. With a family who believes everything from the elves to flying reindeer are myths, Billy's whole viewpoint changes when a mysterious train visits him on Christmas Eve promising to take him and other children to the North Pole. The train's conductor, voiced by Tom Hanks, along with other passengers, help turn Billy's crisis into a journey of self-discovery in this heart warming holiday film.
