New Delhi: 815 Pictures distributed the top-grossing Korean film of 2023—12.12: The Day—to North American theatres, where it earned over $1 million. The film reportedly has a 2024 streaming release date. You may pre-order it on Many Digital Platforms, including iTunes, Apple TV, Google Play, YouTube Movies, Vudu, Vimeo OnDemand, and OnDemand Korea. However, Prime Video will begin streaming the movie on May 17.

Based on actual events that occurred in December 1979—events that led to an eight-year military regime in South Korea—the action thriller, directed by Kim Sung Soo, had an estimated Korean revenue of more than $90 million.

Plot

Until the approaching spring, Seoul suffered through a severe winter in December 1979. A state of martial rule was proclaimed after President Park’s murder. The head of defence security, Chun Doo Kwang, and a small group of his allies launch a coup d’état.

An adamant soldier named Lee Tae Shin, who is in charge of capital defence, battles against Chun Doo Kwang because he thinks the military should stay out of politics. As the defence minister is absent and military chiefs deliberate, tensions between the two intensify. Amid all the mayhem, the much-anticipated spring in Seoul took unexpected turns.
