| Internationally acclaimed director Park Chan Wook catapults Korean Cinema to a new high with the second film in his Vengeance Trilogy. Poignant, fatalistic, and action-packed, Old Boy is a stunning, gut-wrenching tale full of shocking revelations, captivating imagery, and amazing performances by leads Choi Min Sik (Shiri) and Yoo Ji Tae (One Fine Day). Old Boy won many awards around the world, including the Grand Jury Prize at the Cannes Film Festival.
The abrasive Oh Dae Soo (Choi Min Sik) is suddenly kidnapped one day and confined in a cell with only a television set. He makes various efforts to escape and even attempts to commit suicide, but all ends in failure. From the television, Dae Soo learns that his wife had been murdered and that he was wanted by the police for the crime. Shocked, grieved, and angry, Dae Soo starts digging a hole in the wall with a spoon.
After 15 years of inexplicable imprisonment, a slightly manic Dae Soo is just as inexplicably released. Returned to an unfamiliar world, he promptly embarks on a bloody raging path of revenge to find the truth behind his imprisonment. He runs into a female sushi chef named Mido who promises to help him unravel all his unsolved questions. His relationship with Mido, however, inadvertently places her in danger. Trapped in a deadly cat-and-mouse game with the mysterious Woo Jin (Yoo Ji Tae), Dae Soo must put everything on the line to find the answers. The truth, however, may not set him free.
