Escape (2024)

Military camps near the DMZ of a divided land, where the South is the land of freedom, and the opposite side is the land of repression. Sergeant Gyu Nam, who has been planning an escape to the South for a long time, gets caught while stopping a common soldier, Dong Hyuk, from escaping. At the risk of execution, State Security Department Major Hyun Sang recognizes Gyu Nam from childhood. Instead of accusing him, Hyeon Sang decides to make Gyu Nam a hero who caught a deserter. Hyeon Sang, therefore, has succeeded in securing his performance records by saving Gyu Nam’s life. Nevertheless, Gyu Nam wants to live his life by his own will, not the government’s commands. He never gives up on crossing the border. On the other hand, Hyeon Sang desperately stops Gyu Nam to protect his life, which has been built by giving up his dream.
