Movie Synopsis

Late on Christmas Eve, a young boy lies awake listening for the sound of Santa’s sleigh bells. Just before midnight, his room begins to shake as a mysterious train arrives outside his home. When the conductor invites him aboard, the boy begins an unforgettable journey to the North Pole alongside a group of other young passengers.

Filled with adventure, friendship and the wonder of believing, The Polar Express has become a beloved Christmas movie for families of all ages.

Make memories together with this festive holiday experience at Peoples Bank Theatre in Marietta, Ohio!
