Musa The Warrior director Kim Sung Su returns to filmmaking for the first time in a decade with The Flu. The big-budget disaster thriller shows us what happens when a South Korean city becomes ground zero for a devastating avian flu outbreak. Soo Ae ( Athena, Goddess of War) stars as a virologist who must race against time to find a cure with the help of a heroic rescue worker, played by Jang Hyuk ( Iris 2). Kim doesnt shy away from the chaos & the fear surrounding the situation, making The Flu an unsettling film about a very real situation that any of us can encounter at any time.
A group of illegal immigrants travel from Hong Kong to South Korea in a container. However, when the container arrives, the Korean smugglers discover that all of them are dead except for one, a carrier of a deadly strain of avian flu. The survivor escapes, spreading the flu throughout the city in hours. Soon, thousands are infected & dying within 36 hours. To contain the virus, the government quarantines the entire suburb. Among those trapped in the city are rescue worker Ji Koo (Jang Hyuk) & virologist Dr. Kim In Hae (Soo Ae), who met just before the outbreak. When Dr. Kim suspects her daughter of contracting the virus, she works with Ji Koo to find a cure.
