Celebrating its 30th anniversary Danny Boyle's iconic TRAINSPOTTING returns to theatres on June 5, 2026 in a 4K Restoration that was supervised by Boyle himself.

Smart, funny, sickly and sometimes just plain unconscious, Mark Renton is a hero for our times. Set in an underbelly of Edinburgh the city fathers never dreamed of, TRAINSPOTTING is the story of Mark and his so-called friends - a bunch of losers, liars, psychos, thieves and junkies. Hilarious but harrowing, the film charts the disintegration of their friendship as they proceed, seemingly inevitably, towards self-destruction. Mark alone has the insight and opportunity to escape his fate - but then again, does he really want to 'choose life'?

Based on the novel by Irvine Welsh.
