When a terrifying creature rises from the Han River and brings chaos to Seoul, single dad Gang-du (Song Kang-ho, Parasite) will stop at nothing to rescue his daughter from the clutches of the horrifying Host. Equal parts creature-feature thrill ride and poignant human story, Oscar-winning visionary Bong Joon Ho’s first global smash remains an incredible action drama and propulsively entertaining modern classic.
