Marine Express
Tezuka approached his manga like a stage director, with a stock ensemble of characters. They appear in various guises throughout his work, and Marine Express has just about every famous character playing a role.

A mixture of Murder on the Orient Express and Journey to the Centre of the Earth, Marine Express plays with the seventies craze for incredible trains developed in Japan.

The story involves one such invention that slips through a time warp on its maiden voyage.

Australian premiere!
