The Polar Express, (or stylized as  THE POLAR EXPRESS ) is a 2004 American computer-animated adventure film, co-written and directed by Robert Zemeckis, based on the 1985 children's book of the same name by Chris Van Allsburg, who also served as one of the executive producers.

Plot
The movie begins, in the late-1950s, in the night of Christmas Eve in Grand Rapids, Michigan, and started with the narrator saying his past words were:

"On Christmas Eve, many years ago, I lay quietly in my bed. I did not rustle the sheets. I breathed slowly and silently. I was listening for a sound I was afraid I'd never hear. The ringing bells of Santa's sleigh."

Then the sound of ringing bells and the boy wakes up, opening his eyes, and he went over to his window, seeing nothing, and he went downstairs to his living room, and he sees a shadow, thought it was Santa, but it turned out it was his parents, they took to his sister to bed, and he goes over to one of his novels, and reading his North Pole page with "Devoid of Life" on his page. He quickly went back to bed, and his parents goes over to him in bed, and his dad thinks that will be "the end of the magic". His mother gives him a kiss, saying Merry Christmas to him, before they leave, his dad believes that this express train wouldn't wake him up. He overhears an echo "End of the magic" from his mother, and he closes his eyes, hearing a clock ticking, but suddenly, his silver disk started to shake, and the whole house begins to quake and goes louder, and the whistles goes louder, and and he sees a train stopping right next to his house, and he went outside, investigating the front on the street, and he sees a passenger train parked at the road, and he goes to the engineer, and he hears a shout "ALL ABOARD!" repeated two times, and he goes over to the conductor, wondering if he is coming or not, the boy wondering where they're going, He shouted "Why to the North Pole, of course! This is the Polar Express!", He explains about the train and that Hero Boy has been showing signs of disbelief in Santa recently. Hero Boy turns the trip down, but immediately changes his mind and jumps onto the train just as it leaves.

As he's on a train, he goes inside a passenger room with tons of kids playing around the passenger car, and sits down and he meets a Hero Girl, and the know-it-all kid, and he wants to know what kind of train it is, it was actually a "Magic train" and the Hero Girls is sure that they're going to the North Pole. Then they passed the Herpolsheimer's store with tons of presents, and the conductors goes back to the passenger cars to get the kids to get some tickets, and he went to him to look for the pockets if he has one ticket, and he does, and he has a ticket with a "Round trip" on his ticket, and the conductor cuts with B and E on his ticket. The Polar Express stops a Billy's house, but Billy turns it down, so the Conductor gets back on board and the train starts to move. He eventually changes his mind, but the train is already moving too fast for him to catch up until Hero Boy, under a suggestion by Know-It-All, pulls the emergency brake, which stops the train. Angered Conductor goes over and he confronts Hero Boy, but he tries to have some words, which he is meant to say that he tries to stop the train so Billy could get on the train, but he goes into the observation car, sitting down all alone. The Conductor gives the team of hot chocolate makers brings the hot chocolate to the children, and they played a song too. Hero Girl leaves it down the Hot chocolate cup in the downer seat to save it to Billy, and she and the conductor goes to Billy, but she forgot all about her ticket, and Hero Boy tries to give it to her, but the wind blows the ticket, but the ticket goes back to the passenger train.
