Wiki.
Escape from Mogadishu (Korean: 모가디슈; RR: Mogadisyu) is a 2021 South Korean political action thriller film, directed by Ryoo Seung-wan and starring Kim Yoon-seok, Zo In-sung, Heo Joon-ho, Koo Kyo-hwan, Kim So-jin and Jung Man-sik. The film, based on real events, is set during the overthrow of Siad Barre and the two Koreas' efforts to be admitted to the United Nations in the late 1980s and early 1990s. It depicts details of a perilous escape attempt made by North and South Korean embassy workers stranded during the conflict.
With a production cost of ₩24 billion, Escape from Mogadishu was anticipated to release in the summer of 2020 but its release was postponed due to the resurgence of the COVID-19 pandemic. It was released theatrically on July 28, 2021, by Lotte Entertainment in IMAX format. It received generally positive reviews from critics, who praised its action scenes, humorous plot, direction, and its vivid acting performances.
The film grossed over $29 million worldwide, becoming the highest-grossing Korean film of 2021. It was selected as the South Korean entry for the Best International Feature Film at the 94th Academy Awards, but it was not nominated.
