The North Korean Special Unit 124 infiltrated South Korea, in January of 1968, with one clear goal: To kill President Park Chung-he. They failed. But they were close to succeeding. Real close.
In light of this unprecedented move South Korea has no choice but to come up with a counter attack. They form their own special group, designated The 684 Special Unit. The unit is loaded with convicts, 31 men with either life imprisonment or death sentences hanging over their heads, men with nothing to lose. The group is brought to the island Silmido, and given an ultimatum: Either you go back, and serve out your sentence, or you stay here, and take on a special mission. What will it be?
Naturally all 31 men decide to stay. They will undergo rigorous military training. They will become perfect soldiers. The most lethal killing machines. All with one purpose in mind: To enter North Korea and kill president Kim Il-sung!
The idea is ludicrous at best. Suicidal at the very least. How will this band of ragged would-be soldiers manage to pull of such an impossible task? That accomplishment falls under General Jae-hyun (Ahn Sung-ki), assisted by an entire unit of soldiers.
Month after month he trains the men vigorously, under horrible condition. The men are beaten, branded with hot iron, put through unspeakable tests. They suffer. Some of them die. But eventually they’re all transformed into lean, mean, fighting machines.
During this arduous training the men actually start to believe in their mission. They even begin to dream about how life will be, when all this is over. Slowly a bond develops between the men, a collective understanding, and eventually they even gain the respect of their oppressors. Then finally one day, at the absolute peak of their training, the order comes: You ship out tomorrow!
Under cover of night, amidst a heavy storm, the group set out on their mission. Ready to do the unthinkable, just on the off chance that they’ll make it, and be able to live a normal life afterwards.
But then there’s a call from the government. The mission is called off. Postponed indefinitely. Perhaps there will be no new future for these men after all. Perhaps it was all just a lie. Perhaps they’ll never leave Silmido alive... [Quelle: www.shuqi.org]
