Rocky Mountain Express will take you on an unforgettable steam train journey through the rugged and majestic Canadian Rockies, inspiring you with stories of adventure, danger and sacrifices made by many to build the Canadian Pacific Railway line.

The building of this train line through unforgiving terrain was one of the most ambitious and risky engineering feats of the time. It took engineers and laborers from around the world, including China, Japan and Europe, to build the dream. Hardship and heartbreak were experienced by many of these workers, some of whom would never return home.

The film is an immersive experience, with awesome aerial cinematography, cameras everywhere on the train and along its route, sound which vibrates throughout the cinema - all giving you an almost "as good as being there" experience.

The film is interspersed with archival photographs and maps which help to convey just how challenging the building of this train line was. It taps into themes of technology, extreme engineering, history and natural wonder. It is a story of the great pioneering spirit of those involved in this project.

Filmmaker, Stephen Low, was 7 years old when he became spellbound by steam trains and Rocky Mountain Express captures his childhood wonder and passion in the storytelling and the beautiful detail of these great machines which will appeal to children and children at heart.

The audience of adults and children of all ages were captivated for the entire film. We came away with a trip along this amazing train route indelibly inked on our bucket list.

Rocky Mountain Express has wowed audiences across the world and now it's Sydney's turn to experience one of the world's most amazing train journeys and stories of human trial and tribulation.

Don't miss this wonderful film which will intrigue, impress and inspire long after the film has ended.
