Netflix Releases Powerful Preview For New Western Movie, Features Loaded Cast: WATCH

The full trailer for "Train Dreams" has arrived, and it appears Netflix might have another hit.

Basic info:

• Streaming platform: Netflix
• Plot: Based on the beloved novella by Denis Johnson, Train Dreams is the moving portrait of Robert Grainier (Golden Globe-nominee Joel Edgerton), whose life unfolds during an era of unprecedented change in early 20th century America. Orphaned at a young age, Robert grows into adulthood among the towering forests of the Pacific Northwest, where he helps expand the nation’s railroad empire alongside men as unforgettable as the landscapes they inhabit. After a tender courtship, he marries Gladys (Academy Award-nominee Felicity Jones) and they build a home together, though his work often takes him far from her and their young daughter. When his life takes an unexpected turn, Robert finds beauty, brutality and newfound meaning for the forests and trees he has felled. An ode to a vanishing way of life, an ever-evolving world, and to the extraordinary possibilities that exist within even the most simple of existences, Train Dreams captures a time and place that are now long gone, and the people who built a bridge to a future they could only dream of.
• Cast: Joel Edgerton, Felicity Jones, Kerry Condon and William H. Macy
• Release date: November 21, 2025

Netflix releases full trailer for "Train Dreams."

The first look at "Train Dreams" came out over the summer, and it immediately generated some serious buzz in the entertainment world.

Netflix released the full trailer for fans on Wednesday, and it definitely looks like fans are in for a very serious movie.

Give it a watch below, and let me know your thoughts at David.Hookstead@outkick.com.

It appears like "Train Dreams" will be a bit of a different style Western than the shoot 'em up films people have come to know and love going back generations.

Instead, it appears it will look at just how hard life was for those who went west to develop this country, judging from the preview.

That's not a bad story to tell at all. In fact, there are parts of it that are way more interesting than traditional Westerns.

Life was pure brutality back then. You could catch a common cold and end up dead. How many young people walking around the country today would have survived one week in the 1800s? Probably not many at all.

Hell, I don't even know how long I'd make it, and I grew up in rural America with basic outdoor skills. Now, viewers will get a look at just how harsh life could be back then with "Train Dreams."
