The story

What Is Rush Hour About?

The premise of Rush Hour without spoilers.

During World War II the British government launches a public‑information campaign urging civilians to limit travel on the already strained public‑transport network during peak times. Posters, radio spots and leaflets stress that avoiding the ‘rush hour’ will keep trains and buses free for essential workers and the military, aiding the war effort.
