Synopsis
In 1987, a South Korean diplomat's life hangs in the balance after being abducted by terrorists in Lebanon. Lee Min Joon (Ha Jung Woo), an ordinary diplomat with ambitious dreams of working in the United States, volunteers for a secret mission to deliver a 2.5 million U.S. dollar ransom. Navigating the dangerous landscape of a country embroiled in civil war, Min Joon encounters Pan Soo (Ju Ji Hoon), a street-smart Korean taxi driver who becomes his unexpected ally. With no government support and time running out, Min Joon must rescue the kidnapped diplomat and secure his own future. This gripping tale of courage and determination unfolds against the backdrop of a critical moment in South Korean diplomatic history. Inspired by true events, "Ransomed" is a 2023 South Korean action drama film directed by Kim Sung Hoon.
