Released nationwide at GARDEN CINEMA and other venues! 1979 Presidential Assassination - A soldier who follows the orders of his superior officer is arrested for assassination, and a lawyer steps in to save him.
The outcome of the trial, which determined the future of the country, was being manipulated by a man who was aiming to become the next dictator. He seized power through a military coup and wielded so much power that he was criticized as a dictator.
President Park Chung-hee, who wielded great influence in the country, was assassinated on October 2, 1979 by his close aide, Kim Jae-gyu, the head of the Korean Central Intelligence Agency (KCIA), who was rumored to be the country's number two.
He was assassinated on the 6th. This film is about the trial of this sensational case, as well as the historic events that were major in modern Korean history, from the assassination of the president on October 26th to the military coup on December 12th.
This is a work based on historical facts and partly fictionalized depiction of the three men who were involved in the presidential assassination trial, which is said to be the worst trial in Korean history.
The director of the hit film The Man Who Became King starring Lee Byung Hun, Joo Changmin, has created a TV series-like film from the perspective of the people who lived in that time.
The film vividly depicts the silent, heartbreaking cries of the people who have been killed. Cho JungSeok, Lee Seong Kyu (INFINITE), You Chae Myung, Korea's leading actors are all here! 8 stills released

Cho Jung Seok, a popular actor who has appeared in such films as "Parasite: The Semi-Underground Family," plays the role of Park Tae-ju, a simple-minded soldier who is defended by Jung In-hoo.
Lee Seong Kyu (INFINITE), who appeared in "The Solitary Gourmet" and "Itaewon Class", will play Jeong Sang-doo, the head of the joint investigation team that manipulates the trial behind the scenes.

There are many films about the October 26 Presidential assassination and the December 12 incident, but this film is different from those films in that it is about the worst political trial that connects these two historical events.
The film focuses on people who are less known in the past. Director Joo Changmin said, "By looking at history from a different perspective, I think it will be interesting to see new cinematic aspects.
He also said, "After thorough research, I made it my top priority to tell the story based on facts," and that he would like to portray a story that is unbiased to anyone and has never been portrayed before.
