Part of BFI’s TOO MUCH: Melodrama on Film Season
Enter the shadows of Hitchcock’s stylish thriller Strangers on a Train in the immersive setting of the Ulster Transport Museum’s vast train hangar. Among vintage engines and gleaming carriages, experience a masterclass in suspense where chance encounter turns into deadly conspiracy.
When tennis star Guy Haines meets charming stranger Bruno Antony, their casual conversation about “swapping murders” spirals into a terrifying pact. With Hitchcock’s trademark precision, Robert Walker’s chilling performance and striking cinematography that lingers in light and shadow, this film remains one of the director’s most daring explorations of obsession, manipulation and moral collapse.
Teamed up with a special introduction looking at the dark side of Melodrama!
Join us for a night of tension, style and cinematic brilliance, as melodrama meets noir in one of Hitchcock’s greatest classics.
Tickets £12, includes hot drink & buns
