From a quiet story about a logger, they knew they could build an American epic

“Train Dreams” focuses on the life of Robert Grainier, a quiet and hardworking man played by Joel Edgerton, who spends his days doing seasonal logging work in Idaho. Like many laborers of his time, Grainier helped build massive structures, but rarely got to appreciate the full scope of what he accomplished. He was so focused on the details of his work that he couldn’t see the bigger picture.
