We’re nearing the 20th anniversary of Park Chan-Wook’s cinematic masterpiece Old Boy. To celebrate, the film will be released in theaters and restored and remastered in stunning 4K. If you haven’t seen Old Boy, here’s a synopsis.

After being mysteriously kidnapped and imprisoned with no human contact for fifteen years, Oh Dae-Su (Choi Min-sik) is suddenly released without any explanation. In a twisted game of cat and mouse, he has only five days to retrace his past, track down his captors, and get his revenge.

Old Boy has remained a classic for genre fans and has served as inspiration since its release 20 years ago. The new restored and remastered version releases in theaters on August 16th in select theaters. It was directed by Park Chan-Wook, written by Hwan Jo-Yun, Im Joon-Hyung, and Park Chan-Wook.

This is one classic you don’t want to miss in theaters again.
