Korean diplomat's family taking shelter beside a car

Escape from Mogadishu is a nail-biting political thriller based on a true story starring Kim Yoon-seok (The Chaser) and Huh Joon-ho (Netflix’s Kingdom). Rival diplomats from North Korea and South Korea become trapped as civil war rages in Mogadishu, Somalia. With no aid from either government, their only shot at survival requires uniting with bitter adversaries to escape.

This record-breaking Asian blockbuster was South Korea’s entry for the 2022 Oscars and was the opening film at The London Korean Film Festival 2021.
