The film takes place in a technologically advanced train named 'Bullet Train' on the route from Tokyo to Morioka.

Check out the trailer below:

Bullet Train takes Ladybug to a train in Tokyo, where he was tasked to retrieve a briefcase. Ladybug suddenly realized that he was not the only assassin on the train, and what's even more surprising is that they are all tasked to retrieve the same briefcase. However, their individual contracts are different but seem to be connected. Now, imagine a train full of professional killers trying to retrieve a briefcase, not trusting each other, and trying to survive.
