The People´s Train

Artem Samsurov, a charismatic protégé of Lenin, makes an extraordinary escape from Tsarist Russia to reach sanctuary in Australia, but soon finds it isn´t quite the workers´ paradise he was expecting. Though distracted by an infatuation with a beautiful female lawyer, he throws himself back into the socialist cause, only to be imprisoned, then accused of murdering an informer. But he never loses his belief that the revolution will come - and in 1917, accompanied by an Australian miner and would-be journalist, he returns to Russia to join in the fight for it.
