Harbin (2024)

Other name: 하얼빈, Haeolbin

Description:

Harbin plunges into Korea's brutal colonial era in 1909, four years after Japan forcibly stripped the nation of its diplomatic rights. While Korea's tenacious Righteous Army militia wages a desperate armed resistance, the film centers on Ahn Junggeun, a sole survivor of a bloody skirmish. He is tasked with leading a perilous operation: to assassinate Itō Hirobumi, the oppressive first Japanese Resident-General of Korea and a key symbol of violent colonial rule.

This high-stakes mission demands Ahn and his cohort to travel clandestinely into Russia. There, they must gather vital resources and forge alliances, all while concocting elaborate decoys to evade detection. With relentless security forces on their trail, terrifying risks at every turn, and the entire plan constantly threatened by collapse, Harbin explores the harrowing sacrifices demanded for a nation's independence, questioning the ultimate cost in human lives.
