The film tells the story of a great detective who solves a murder case on the Orient Express. Poirot got on the Orient Express and was awakened three times during the night. The next morning, he discovered that Rachel, a wealthy American businessman in the same car, had been murdered, and the deceased was stabbed 12 times. Poirot made logical reasoning based on the suspicious signs he observed in China and the inquiries of people in the car, as well as the implementation of the 12-person jury system, etc., and successfully opened a strange case of "collective revenge".
Poirot initially got on the express train by accident. He happened to meet the director of the train company and got on the train. Unexpectedly, there was a group of people on this train, and they pretended not to know each other. People from all occupations in Britain, Italy, France, and the United States gathered on this train, it was a "hodgepodge". There is a wealthy businessman named Rachel on this train. Of course, this is not his real name. Five years ago, he kidnapped the daughter of an upper-class family. After getting the ransom, the little girl was found by her family with several wounds on her body, and her face was already covered. Not sure. The fate of the family has changed since then. The mother died of dystocia when she gave birth to the second child because of excessive grief. The father also committed suicide because of the unbearable blow. After Rachel killed the family of five, she controlled the judges and judges through background operations, and finally escaped. After a pseudonym, he operated behind the scenes, invested in various industries, and became a veritable rich man.
However, this winter, on the train from Istanbul to London, a group of people from seemingly different classes and countries gathered because of the murdered little girl's family. The noble countess is the sister of the woman who died in childbirth, the son of the colonel, the driver, the godmother, the teacher, and the prosecutor, among others. In this unjust case, they proved their existence in another way. Together they deceived Detective Poirot and acted in a wonderful scene. One night, twelve people came to Rachel's carriage, a wealthy businessman. After Rachel had been given sleeping pills, each one handed over one by one. The knives inside, one knife and one knife stabbed downwards, a total of twelve knives. Twelve people were justly rejected five years ago, and now they use a knife to pay for all their grievances.
People were still prostitutes with stones, but Jesus said, "You know whoever has no reason to sin, then stone her first." But no one stoned her. In this movie, a catholic preacher says, I have believed in God for five years, and I teach Catholicism, but I never believed in some of its teachings. The detective asked, are you referring to some sins that God cannot forgive? Like breaking the law? She believes that by breaking the law and not getting the most justice, God sent the truly good people to hell, but the wicked were forgiven and told the wicked not to sin in the future. Everyone is sinful, being denied justice by God, and upholding justice can only be the only right thing to do at that moment.
The detective finally solved the case, 12 people confessed their crimes in the lounge, these most familiar strangers denounced the injustice of the law, so that kind people can't find a way to exist, and it takes a lot to keep these victims in fear. Take out your heart to endure the humiliation and live. The detective said, so where did you put the law, you finally punished the murderer, aren't you the same as the murderer? The detective insisted on handing over 12 people to the police, and the 12 acquiesced to the detective's trial.
It was one morning, the police were rushing to the train, and the windows were covered in layers of fog. Before getting on the train, the female teacher who had seen the punishment of an adulterous woman in Istanbul and was crying came over, she said, The woman in Istanbul knew the secular rules there, she knew the consequences of breaking it, and so did Rachel. When you are shut out of the gates of justice, you are incomplete, it feels like you are left in the wilderness by God, and I have asked God, what the hell are we doing. He said: Do the right thing. I guess that's what I am, and it makes me whole again.
Detective: Really?
Teacher: At least I did the right thing.
The police waited for a long time outside the train, and the detective handed over a flight attendant uniform found during the crime to the police, and handed over a button, telling the police that the murderer pretended to be a flight attendant and escaped through the window. The 12 people watched the detective leave in the snowstorm, and the detective squeezed out the tears of a tough guy. He made a compromise between the law he had always stood by and justice, and it seemed like the teacher said, at least he did the right thing.
