10 Best "Everything You Know Is A Lie" Moments In Sci-Fi Movies
6. The Polar Bear - Snowpiercer
Before it was a hit TV show, Snowpiercer was a hit film directed by future Best Picture winner Bong Joon-Ho.
The premise is the same - a group of humans survive an apocalyptic ice age by riding around in a giant train. Only the movie has John Hurt in it! And Chris Evans!
Imagine being on a train with Captain America and The Elephant Man. What a time to be alive.
Unfortunately, not many people are alive come the end of the film, because the titular choo-choo ends up derailing after a revolution breaks out onboard. Two young survivors, Yona and Timmy, end the film by staring off into the lifeless frozen wasteland.
