THE RAILWAY MAN PICTURES
COLIN FIRTH, NICOLE KIDMAN, JEREMY IRVINE, SAM REID
Check out the first pictures from the intense war drama movie THE RAILWAY MAN which is scheduled to premiere this month at Toronto Film Festival. During World War II, Eric Lomax (played by Colin Firth and Jeremy Irvine in his youth) is a British officer who is captured by the Japanese in Singapore and sent to a POW camp, where he is forced to work on the Thai-Burma Railway. During his time in the camp he is tortured by an officer and meets a fellow POW (played by Ben Rossberg). Years later, and still suffering the psychological trauma of his wartime experiences, Lomax is persuaded by his wife Patti (Nicole Kidman) to find and confront one of his captors. Accompanied by his best friend (played by Stellan Skarsgard and Sam Reid in his youth), Lomax returns to the scene of his torture and manages to track down his captor, Japanese officer Takashi Nagase  (played by Hiroyuki Sanada), from the prison camp, in an attempt let go of a lifetime of bitterness and hate!
