🧟♂️ Story Overview
Set several years after the chaos of Peninsula, Train to Busan 3 explores a South Korea forever transformed. The peninsula is now divided into isolated zones—some run by rogue militias, others reclaimed by survivalist communities. However, a disturbing new mutation of the zombie virus emerges in the heart of the demilitarized zone (DMZ), spreading faster and deadlier than ever before.
Lee Jung-jae plays a former intelligence officer haunted by the past, who is recruited to lead a high-risk mission to retrieve a potential cure hidden deep in the ruins of Seoul. Teaming up with Kim Da-mi, a fierce survivor who was raised inside the infected zone, the duo boards an armored train built by a coalition of surviving nations—The Iron Phantom—a desperate final ride into the undead heart of Korea.
As the undead evolve, betrayals surface, and human greed proves deadlier than the infection, survival is no longer just about running—it’s about deciding what kind of future is worth fighting for.
