The Point Men

In 2007, during the Afghanistan conflict, a small South Korean military contingent faces a critical situation when a group of Christian missionaries is kidnapped by Taliban gunmen in the Ghazni Province. The terrorists demand ransom and threaten to kill the hostages one by one, forcing the South Korean government to take action. Dae Sik (Hyun Bin), a National Intelligence Service agent, and diplomat Jae Ho (Hwang Jung Min) are dispatched to the dangerous warzone to negotiate for the hostages' lives, risking everything in a tense and high-stakes rescue mission. Based on a true story, the mission becomes increasingly perilous as both the hostages and the negotiators' lives hang in the balance. This is a 2023 South Korean movie directed by Yim Soon Rye.
