Directed by Kim Jee-woon, The Good, the Bad, the Weird (2008) stars Song Kang-ho, Lee Byung-hun and Jung Woo-sung. Set in 1930s Manchuria, the film follows a bounty hunter, a bandit and a ruthless assassin as they race to find a mysterious treasure map while being pursued by outlaws, soldiers and rival gangs. Blending large-scale action, treasure hunting and the style of classic spaghetti westerns, the film became one of South Korea's most internationally recognised genre films.

ONE MAP. THREE VILLAINS. WINNER TAKES ALL.

Genre maestro Kim Jee-woon (A Tale of Two Sisters) set his sights on new frontiers and spiced them up with his rollicking kimchi western The Good, the Bad, the Weird. Wrangling three of Korea's biggest stars, he orchestrated an audacious action epic sweeping across the dusty Manchurian plains.

In the 1930s, three gun-toting Koreans converge on a train with different objectives but after an explosive altercation they leave it with the same goal: track down a map leading to an unfathomable treasure. The 'Good' is bounty hunter Park Do-won (Jung Woo-sung, 12.12: The Day), who is chasing down the 'Bad', the ruthless bandit Park Chang-yi (Lee Byung-hun, A Bittersweet Life), rumoured to be the notorious 'Finger Cutter'. Meanwhile, wily thief Yoon Tae-goo (Song Kang-ho, Parasite), the 'Weird', is on the hunt for anything he can get his hands on. Backs are stabbed, fingers are cut, and many bullets fly as this dangerous trio blast their way through the desert in search of untold riches.

This glorious resurrection of the Manchurian Western was the biggest and most ambitious production ever undertaken in Korea. From a stunning newly restored 4K master, experience this spicy slice of wild west mayhem as you've never seen it before.
