Synopsis
Years after Seoul turns into an apocalyptic wasteland, a tough huntsman takes matters into his own hands when a teenager he's close to is abducted by a mad doctor who conducts experiments on humans. This gripping action blockbuster with an intriguing post-apocalyptic premise stars Ma Dong-seok, an international actor who has spurred the catchphrase, "Ma Dong-seok is the genre." Lee reunites with director Heo Myung-haeng for this project after having worked closely together in "The Outlaws", a definitive Korean action film series. Heo served as the action director for "The Outlaws" as well as numerous other works such as "Hunt" and "Train to Busan". "Badland Hunters" marks Heo's debut as a director. In addition to Lee, the cast includes: Lee Hee-jun ("The Man Standing Next", "1987: When the Day Comes"); Lee Jun-young, ("Love and Leashes", "Mask Girl", "D.P", "Brave Citizen"); Roh Jeong-eui ("Our Beloved Summer", "18 Again"); and newcomer Ahn Ji-hye-II, who is deft in difficult action performances. These talented actors are expected to deliver memorable performances and create impeccable synergy. (Netflix)
