    • Synopsis
    • In Beirut 1986, during the Lebanese civil war a Korean diplomat is taken hostage without a trace. Two years pass and long forgotten, a young diplomat Min-jun (HA Jung-woo) receives a phone call proving that the hostage is still alive. With the given mission, Min-jun is sent to Beirut to save the hostage with a bag of ransom money. However, Min-jun gets into trouble as soon as he sets foot in Beirut. As luck would have it, Minjun manages to flee from the airport with help from a local taxi driver Pan-su (JU Ji-hoon) who he stumbles across. Despite the distrust toward Pan-su of his obvious mischievousness, the two unlikely allies must navigate the demolished, war-raging streets of Beirut to bring the long awaited hostage back home.
