The Whistleblower and Little Forest helmer Yim Soon-rye is now ready to bring forth her latest venture to the big screen with a ripped-from-the-headlines thriller on an international scale with action pic, The Point Men. Megabox Plus M is poised to finally release the film on the big screen on January 18, 2023, and we now have a first teaser trailer to showcase what’s in store.
Based on the true events of the Korean hostage crisis in Afghanistan.
A group of Korean tourists is taken hostage by an extremist Taliban group in Afghanistan. The Korean government dispatches Jae-ho (HWANG Jung-min), known as one of Korea’s most skilled diplomats, in order to handle the situation. Once he arrives, he asks for the Afghan government’s cooperation and uses every means possible to free the hostages. However, his efforts go in vain. Due to his failure, he’s forced to work with Dae-sik (HYUN Bin), a special agent who is an expert on the Middle East. As they begin making their move to get to the Taliban, the first hostage death occurs. With nowhere else to turn, the two become unlikely allies in a race against time to save the rest of the hostages.
Also starring are Kang Ki-young (The Book Of Fish), young actor Lee Chun-moo (20th Century Girl), and actress Cha Yu-joo (Waiting for Rain). Peep the trailer!
