The Story:
Set on the titular Transsiberian, a train that travels from outer Mongolia to Russia. An American couple trying to patch up marital differences with a railroad trip across Russia, Roy (Woody Harrelson) and Jesse (Emily Mortimer) hope the travel will ease their communication predicament.
On the train, they meet a younger couple, Carlos (Eduardo Noriega) and Abby (Kate Mara), and immediately try to play gracious tourists, befriending the newcomers, who are charming, but well-versed in illegal activities. When Grinko (Ben Kingsley), a Russian drug enforcement officer, boards the train, he sniffs trouble around Jesse, turning his attention to the skittish woman as he hunts for smugglers, leaving the couple at the mercy of the Russian police.
