SYNOPSIS:

In 1909, several years after Korea was forced into becoming a Japanese colony, freedom fighters — led by the heroic Ahn Jung-geun — plotted the daring assassination of Japan’s prime minister in the Chinese city of Harbin during their quest for independence.

Woo Min-ho, the director of blockbusters Inside Men and The Man Standing Next, turns one of the most important events in modern Korean history into a masterfully taut and handsomely mounted spy thriller. Most importantly, it’s a stark reminder that the fight for freedom is a long and difficult road that can only be completed in solidarity.
