Tom Hanks and other stars of "The Da Vinci Code" arrived at the Cannes Film Festival on board a train that broke the world record for the longest nonstop international rail trip.

The high-speed Eurostar train, named "The Da Vinci Code" for the trip, was part of a promotional blitz leading up to the movie's world premiere Wednesday in Cannes. The London-Cannes train went 883 miles in 7 hours, 25 minutes, passing through the tunnel under the English Channel on Tuesday.

Eurostar said an official from Guinness World Records was on board and certified the record.
