Battleship Island

The film tells the story of more than 400 Korean refugees who were forcibly conscripted to Japanese warship islands during the Japanese colonial period, trying to escape to avoid being killed. In 1945, during a turbulent period when rumors were rife that the war was about to end, Lee Kang-woo (played by Hwang Jung-min), leader of the Jazz Band at the Peninsula Hotel in Beijing, took his only daughter Su-hee (played by Kim Soo-an) and the orchestra, the boxer Choi Chil-sung (played by So Ji-sub) who dominated Jongno, the last son who suffered under Japanese rule (played by Lee Jung-hyun) and other Koreans. They were deceived by lies that they could make money and went to Japan, but what they arrived were Koreans. The forcibly requisitioned warship island. In a mine 1,000 meters deep under the sea, they endured the danger of gas explosions and were forced to work. Li Jiangyu tried every means to protect his daughter on Battleship Island, and Cui Qixing and Mozi also used their own methods to survive the painful days. After the war, the OSS (U.S. Strategic Intelligence Service) secretly instructed Park Moo-young (played by Song Joong-ki), an important member of the Korean Independence Army, to rescue the presidential candidate Yun Xuechul (played by Lee Kyung-young) lurking on the warship island. In order to cover up all the crimes committed against the Koreans on Battleship Island, the Japanese decided to blast the mines where the Koreans worked. In a critical situation, Park Wuying rescued Yin Xuezhe with difficulty and revealed his identity.
