Plot

The film adaptation of the novel by British author, Agatha Christie, that focuses on the Belgian detective Hercule Poirot. The plot begins in Istanbul at Hotel Tokatlian where Poirot receives an urgent telegram asking him to return to England. Poirot takes the Orient Express train the very same evening. On the famous train, he meets an American named Ratchett. The American man asks the detective to help save his life, but Poirot refuses. Ratchett ends up being murdered that night, leaving Poirot to investigate the case. As the detective begins delving into the details of the case, he discovers that the train is full of suspects, and each with their own secrets.

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.
