On Christmas Eve, a passenger train known as the Polar Express stops in the street outside the boy's house. The boy has become skeptical about the existence of Santa Claus. The conductor says that the train is traveling to the North Pole.
The boy, although hesitant at first, boards the ship and meets a lively girl and a know-it-all boy. The train then stops to pick up a boy named Billy, who also initially refuses to board the train, but changes his mind as the train moves away.
To the train conductor's annoyance, the boy applied the emergency brakes, and Billy was allowed aboard the car, but decided to sit alone in the observation car.
A platoon of dancing waiters offers the children hot chocolate with the girl providing Billy a cup.
When the conductor and the girl go to give Billy his cup, the boy notices that the girl's ticket has not been validated yet and tries to return it to her. In doing so, the wind blows the ticket away into the wilderness, but it soon returns to the train.
After the girl discovers that her ticket is missing, the conductor leaves with her.
Assuming that she will be thrown from the train, the boy finds the ticket and crosses the rooftops to find the girl.
He encounters a mysterious ghost who helps him reach the engine.
The boy discovers that the girl has been put in charge of the train while the engineer and fireman replace the engine's headlight. The boy applies the train's brakes before a herd of ibex blocks the tracks

. As the train continues its journey with the conductor, boy and girl exposed to the elements standing at the front of the train, it is moving too fast because the throttle pin of the throttle handle has come loose and fallen off.
Once they reach a frozen lake, the cotter pin is replaced and the train engineer returns the train to the tracks just before the ice breaks
The conductor returns the boy and girl to their seats and they join Billy in the observation car.
The train finally reaches the North Pole, where the conductor announces that one of the children will be chosen to receive the first Christmas present from Santa himself.
As the girl and boy try to convince Billy to join them, the boy accidentally unhooks the car, causing it to flip away and speed along the track in a tunnel toward the railway turntable inside Santa's workshop.
The kids make their way through the troll's command center and a gift-sorting office facility, where Billy finds a gift with his name on it. They are thrown into a huge bag of gifts, where they also find a know-it-all.
After loading the bag onto Santa's sleigh, the elves escort them outside before Santa and his reindeer arrive.
The bell flies from the reins of the running reindeer
. At first the boy cannot hear its ringing, until he finds in himself something to believe in. He returns the bell to Santa, who selects it to receive the first gift of Christmas.
Santa agrees to let him keep the bell. As the children board the train home, the boy discovers that he has lost the bell through a hole in his pocket.
The boy arrives home and the train conductor wishes him a happy birthday.
He wakes up on Christmas morning to find a gift containing his missing bell along with a letter from Santa.
He and his younger sister Sarah happily ring the bell, but their parents don't hear it because they don't believe in Santa.
The boy reflects on his friends and sister who eventually became deaf to the bell over the years as their faith faded.
However, despite the fact that he is now an adult, the bell still rings for him, as it does for “everyone who truly believes.”
