The film that brought the steam age back to life continues to fire the imagination of audiences around the world. Rocky Mountain Express will now soon be transporting giant screen audiences in Paris, Singapore and Melbourne (dates below).
Rocky Mountain Express propels audiences on a train journey through the Canadian Rockies and relates the epic story of the building Canada’s first transcontinental railway. The film premiered at the Canadian Museum of Civilization in the fall of 2011 and has been extensively exhibited in IMAX and other giant screen theaters across North America, also reaching audiences in Beijing, The Hague, Lucerne, and Mexico.

The film was awarded Best Film and Best Cinematography by the Giant Screen Cinema Assocation (2012) and has received wide critical acclaim from media, theaters and theater-goers alike.
Audience demand for the film has been brisk — our team has been avalanched by tens of thousands of requests for a Blu-ray edition.
