《铁路人》改编自埃里克·洛马克斯（Eric Lomax）的同名畅销小说。二战期间英国士兵洛马克斯被日军俘虏，被迫在在缅甸-暹罗（泰国旧称）做铁路苦工，身心受尽难以想象的摧残，他一生都难以逃出阴影。三十年后，洛马克斯获悉曾经折磨过他的一个日本兵还活在人世，他决定去见见这个人，不是为了报复寻仇，而是想要与过去和解。

During World War II, Eric Lomax (played by Colin Firth) is a British officer who is captured by the Japanese in Singapore and sent to a POW camp, where he is forced to work on the Thai-Burma Railway. During his time in the camp he is tortured by an officer and meets a fellow POW (played by Ben Rossberg).
Years later, and still suffering the psychological trauma of his wartime experiences, Lomax is persuaded by his wife Patti to find and confront one of his captors. Accompanied by his best friend (played by Skarsgard), Lomax returns to the scene of his torture and manages to track down his captor, Japanese officer Takashi Nagase (played by Sanada), from the prison camp, "in an attempt let go of a lifetime of bitterness and hate".

从首款预告来看，由科林·费斯饰演的洛马克斯与妮可·基德曼饰演的妻子，他们之间的对手戏水准不俗。日本男星真田广之饰演人到中年的日本兵，面对曾经遭受自己虐待过的俘虏，他以自己的余生寻求原谅。《战马》男星杰瑞米·艾文这次从一战穿越到二战，饰演青年时代的洛马克斯。另外，瑞典老戏骨斯特兰·斯卡斯加德也在片中出演重要角色。
