A prequel to THE ADMIRAL: ROARING CURRENTS—the most-watched film in Korean cinema history—HANSAN: RISING DRAGON depicts the Battle of Hansando. In 1592, Admiral Yi Sun-sin and his fleet faced off against the might of the invading Japanese navy and its formidable warships. As the Korean forces fall into crisis, the admiral resorts to using his secret weapon, the dragon headships known as geobukseon, to change the tide of this epic battle at sea.

Dong-chul (Gong Yoo) is the best field agent in North Korea – until he is abandoned during a mission, his wife and daughter missing. Hunted and on the run, torn between grief and vengeance, he takes a job as a night driver for the CEO of a powerful corporation. The chairman is brutally assassinated – but gives Dong-chul a pair of glasses before he dies.

Now, he’s on the run again. Accused of murder, wanted for treason, and desperate to uncover the volatile national secrets hidden inside the glasses. Dong-chul wants the truth. And he’ll start a war to get it.
