This hotly anticipated historical war-action epic is the second in the trilogy that began with Korea’s highest-grossing film ever, Kim Han-min’s The Admiral: Roaring Currents (2014). Set in 1592, five years before the events of the previous film, this sweeping naval odyssey finds the legendary military commander Yi Sun Sin (Park Hae-il) on a maritime crusade against invading Japanese forces. Yi’s cunning strategies, tenacious resolve and masterful leadership bring him and his loyal troops to a valiant showdown with the ruthless imperialists, culminating in the storied Battle of Hansan Island. Brimming with suspenseful political intrigue and awe-inspiring, authentic recreations of ancient fighting ships in action, Hansan: Rising Dragon is another major Korean cinema achievement not to be missed.
