Essentially, the film Bullet Train based on a book by Kotaro Isaka, is about five assassins who find themselves on a fast moving bullet train from Tokyo to Morioka with only a few stops in between. They discover their missions are not unrelated to each other. The riveting fast paced film revolves around a deadly assassin Ladybug (Brad Pitt) who boards a Japanese bullet train to execute a job that was assigned to him to pick up a nondescript briefcase and disembark at the next station. However, to his surprise, this seemingly simple task puts him in line with some interesting odd-ball characters, each one with a different mission.
