On the famous train, he meets an American named Ratchett. The American man asks the detective to help save his life, but Poirot refuses.

Trivia
Reality or fantasy?
In the movie, Poirot carries a photography of his love, Katherine. Who's actually in the image is Emma Thompson, Kenneth Branagh's ex-wife in real life, when she was younger.
Moustaches
When the trailer for the movie was released, some fans of Agatha Christie complained about Kenneth Branagh's moustache, that they found insulting to the author's books. When the novel was adapted for the first time in 1974, Christie (who was still alive) also complained about Albert Finney's moustache.
Angelina Jolie
Fox head Stacey Snider broke off negotiations with Angelina Jolie after several months due to her insistence on significant script changes on what was a relatively small part.
