Here is the synopsis for “The Railway Man”:
Based on the remarkable best-selling autobiography, “The Railway Man” tells the extraordinary and epic true story of Eric Lomax (Colin Firth): a British Army officer who is tormented as a prisoner of war at a Japanese labor camp during World War II.
Decades later, Lomax and his beautiful love interest Patti (Nicole Kidman) discover that the Japanese interpreter responsible for much of his treatment is still alive. He sets out to confront him and his haunting past in this powerful and inspiring tale of heroism, humanity and the redeeming power of love.

NO-SHOW POLICY
HollywoodChicago.com works hard to coordinate our giveaways for you with the movie studios. If you enter to win and are fortunate enough to be awarded, we expect you to attend. If you reply saying you can’t attend – or don’t show up at all without notifying us – that opportunity goes to waste and another lucky HollywoodChicago.com winner misses out on enjoying what you would have. We use various forms of tracking technologies to know whether or not you attended. When you win and don’t attend, reputation points will be counted against you and you’ll win less frequently. If you enter to win, please make sure you can attend if you do win. Thank you.
