Hunt

Lee Jung-jae, known worldwide for starring in the hit Netflix series 'Squid Game', directs, writes and stars in 'Hunt', a thriller set in South Korea in 1980. After the murder of President Park at the hands of the Korean intelligence agency, the army gets again power, something that North Korea sees as an opportunity for an invasion, so this country decides to send one of its spies as an undercover. Two senior South Korean security officials are ordered to find the undercover. This means the beginning of a terrible hunt against time.

The film was presented in the Official Out of Competition Section of the last edition of the Cannes Film Festival, in the Gala Presentations of the Toronto Film Festival and in the Orbit Section of the Sitges Film Festival. It also marks the directorial debut of South Korean actor Lee Jung-jae, who, alongside with Jung Woo-sung ('The Good the Bad the Weird'), Jeon Hye-jin and Heo Sung-tae star in 'Hunt'.

Taking place in the '80s against the backdrop of a cold war between the two Koreas, 'Hunt'

tells an engrossing tale of a spy agency conducting a smoke out operation to root out a mole.

Although the circumstances surrounding the film are based on actual events in history, the

story itself is a work of fiction in its entirety.
