About the Film

The Commuter is a 2018 American action thriller directed by Jaume Collet-Serra, the fourth collaboration between Collet-Serra and Liam Neeson. Neeson stars as Michael MacCauley, a retired NYPD detective turned insurance salesman who has commuted on the same Metro-North train between his suburban home and Manhattan for ten years. When a mysterious woman, played by Vera Farmiga, offers him $100,000 to identify a hidden passenger on the train before the last stop, Michael discovers he's been drawn into a criminal conspiracy and that his family is being held hostage to ensure his compliance.

The confined train setting, which Collet-Serra had proven adept at managing with Non-Stop's airplane, created escalating claustrophobia as Michael moved through the cars searching for his target while being watched. The Commuter earned $119 million worldwide on a $30 million budget.
