In the 2013 post-apocalyptic film Snowpiercer - based on Le Transperceneige, a French graphic novel from 1982 - a train barrels nonstop around the world, carrying the remnants of humanity through a world rendered uninhabitable by a human-caused ice age. These last people maintain order with a brutal totalitarian social structure, and both film and graphic novel follow one man as he leads a revolution against it.
