Oh Dae-su is an ordinary Seoul business man with a wife and little daughter. After a drunken night in the town, he is abducted and locked up in a strange "prison". No one will tell him why he's there and who his jailer is and his fury builds to a singleminded focus of revenge. 15 years later, he is unexpectedly freed, given a new suit, a cell phone and 5 days to unravel the mystery and discover the identity of the enemy who had him imprisoned. Seeking vengeance on all those involved, he soon finds that his enemy's tortures are just beginning. |
