In Bullet Train, Ladybug is an unlucky assassin determined to do his job

peacefully after one too many gigs gone off the rails. Fate, however, may have

other plans, as Ladybug's latest mission puts him on a collision course with

lethal adversaries from around the globe—all with connected, yet conflicting,

objectives— centering around the TUMI 19 Degree Aluminum Briefcase on the

world's fastest trains. The end of the line is just the beginning in this

non-stop thrill-ride through modern-day Japan from David Leitch, the director

of Deadpool 2.

TUMI, which perfectly fits in with this edgy, action-packed film," said Jeffrey

Godsick, EVP of Global Partnerships and Brand Management and Head of Location

Based Entertainment at Sony Pictures Entertainment.
