On Christmas Eve, a young boy embarks on a magical adventure to the North Pole on the Polar Express, while learning about friendship, bravery, and the spirit of Christmas.
 
This film is so good that a Polar Express locomotive was actually made in "real life" where parents can take their kids during the month of December to experience what happens in the film. 
 
FUN FACT:  Before Hero Boy (played by Tom Hanks) boards the Polar Express, the clock says 11:55. The time doesn't change until the first gift of Christmas is given, near the end of the film.
