Poster for the film OLDBOY

Oldboy

Opens August 18

Celebrating the 20th anniversary of Park Chan-Wook’s cinematic masterpiece, Oldboy will be re-released in theaters for the first time in 20 years—newly restored and remastered in stunning 4K.

After being mysteriously kidnapped and imprisoned with no human contact for fifteen years, Oh Dae-Su (Choi Min-sik) is suddenly released without any explanation. In a twisted game of cat and mouse, he has only five days to retrace his past, track down his captors, and get his revenge.

"Oldboy is a powerful film not because of what it depicts, but because of the depths of the human heart which it strips bare."
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
"Shakespearean in its violence, Oldboy also calls up nightmare images of spiritual and physical isolation that are worthy of Samuel Beckett or Dostoyevsky."
Joe Morgenstern, Wall Street Journal

This film is part of the Movie Milestones series.
