Basically, Snowpiercer: The Escape starts off with a man escaping the tail of the Snowpiercer train. He is caught and ends up meeting a woman who leads a group in the middle of the train who are fighting for the rights of all people – the rich on the front of the train and the poor in the back. The two of them are then taken by armed guards to the front of the train to meet the President. Along the way, we get a good look at how the train runs, where the food comes from, how the living conditions differ as we move forward, and more importantly how we got to this point. Remember in the movie 2012, where the governments of the world knew the end was coming and made arks for the rich and powerful to survive on while the rest of the world was kept in the dark? That is pretty much what we have here, except instead of arks, there is a train that had been invented to run non-stop without needing to ever stop to re-fuel, and was used by the rich and powerful to survive when the world went into a global freeze. Only problem was that some people figured it out and rushed the train to get on. Those people were left in the back, in cattle cars, where they suffered and died. There was also talk about an uprising from the tail that took the lives of many people, but was actually a massacre by the military forces of the front car people. The word spread that it was all the tail people who did it and they were now feared even by the lesser middle car people. That is exactly what the trailer for Snowpiercer looks like. As far as I can tell from reading this graphic novel, we are getting the uprising the book only hinted at.
