An ordinary man is abducted without explanation and locked in a room for fifteen interminable years, never knowing who is holding him or why. On the day he is released just as inexplicably, he is granted a brief window to discover the identity of his captor and the reason for his torment. Consumed by a thirst for revenge, he launches an investigation that drags him toward a truth more monstrous than he could ever have imagined. Park Chan-wook delivers a masterpiece of Korean cinema, violent, stylized and profoundly tragic, with a famous single-take fight scene that has made history.
