The Man on the Train
The Man on the Train, called Man on the Train in the USA, is a 2002 drama film directed by Patrice Leconte that stars Jean Rochefort and Johnny Hallyday.
Plot
In a little French town, a rough-looking man named Milan arrives alone by train. Suffering a headache, he goes into the pharmacy for aspirin and there meets Manesquier, a cultured bachelor who lives in a large house on his own. As the only hotel has closed, Manesquier offers to put the stranger up for the night. While he is delighted to talk about his life and interests, the taciturn Milan does not say who he is or why he is there. The reason, it is revealed, is because he will link up with three other criminals and rob the town bank.
