Save the Green Planet!

In a basement, no one can hear you scream! In 2003, the same year as Oldboy and Memories of Murder, Korean cinema welcomed its most audacious debut: Jang Joon-hwan's delirious Save the Green Planet! Manic yet focused, outrageous yet grounded, this genre-defying smorgasbord was destined to become South Korea's ultimate cult classic. The world is in grave danger but no one seems to realise it. Thankfully, Byeong-gu (Shin Ha-kyun, Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance) is our salvation. To everyone else, Chairman Kang (Baek Yoon-sik, The President's Last Bang) is a pillar of society, but Byeong-gu sees him for who he really is: an alien from the Andromedan galaxy. Byeong-gu's only course of action is clear: kidnap the chairman and extract the truth via torture. With his tightrope-walking girlfriend by his side and city cops on his heels, he must use any means necessary to prove himself to the world and save us before it's too late. Boldly blending sci-fi, horror, comedy, procedural and social commentary, Save the Green Planet! is the gift that keeps on giving. Returning to the home video market after over two decades, this tale of conspiracy wrestling with reality beams down just when we need it the most.
