This movie begins with a scene in 1997 whena member of the North Korean military is running
away from the pursuit of other North Korean military forces using a car.
After his car accident, the military soldier, who looked like a zombie, hid in the forest
while carrying an iron suitcase.
As a result, the rest of the North Korean military army couldn't find him that night.
The next morning, several members of the South Korean military were seen walking through
the forest in the demilitarized area, better known as the DMZ, located in the border zone
between North Korea and South Korea.
However, in the middle of their observation process, the South Korean military forces
suddenly heard the sound of a grenade exploding on the border river.
Shortly after, they saw a woman from North Korea running toward them carrying a baby.
The woman named Major Ri asked for help from the South Korean military forces to protect
her baby because the North Korean military forces were currently chasing her.
But when the South Korean military forces were about to take her and the baby, the North
Korean troops suddenly appeared and threatened the South Korean military forces to hand over
her to them.
To avoid fighting between the South Korean and North Korean military forces, the woman
decided to sacrifice herself and return to North Korea on the condition that the baby
must go with the South Korean military forces.
Suddenly, one South Korean military personnel named Lee Hyuk fired first without an order
from the commander.
As a result, there was a fierce exchange of fire between the South Korean military forces
and the North Korean military forces, killing most members of the troops from both sides,
including Major Ri.
At the same time, a member of the North Korean military squad named Sangmin, previously hiding
in the forest while carrying an iron suitcase, suddenly groaned loudly and turned into a
half-zombie human.
23 years after the shooting, the scene switches to a young man named Dong Jin, currently a
military search division member.
That day, Dong Jin and the rest of the search division were on a mission to find a wolf
that had just escaped from the zoo into the forest near the border.
In carrying out the mission this time, he looked surprised because their leader also
involved a team of military chemists, better known as KCST.
Dong Jin suspects that KCST is involved in the mission because the wolf they are looking
for has been infected with a dangerous virus or disease.
After following the trail, the search team finally found where the wolf was hiding and
began preparing to stun the wolf with an anesthetic.
But before they could ambush, one of the female members of the KCST team named Ye Rim ordered
the search team to withdraw because the KCST team would deal with the wolf.
When the KCST troops ran towards where the wolf was found, Dong Jin had already shot
the wolf with an anesthetic.
But the shot did not affect the wolf until finally, it went berserk and immediately chased
after him.
Luckily, the KCST team arrived on time and helped the search team to immobilize the wolf
by firing a stronger chemical bullet.
Shortly after, the KCST team received a report that a member of the military army in the
border zone had suddenly disappeared.
They suspected that the soldier had been attacked by wild animals because they found some traces
of wolves or beasts around the area.
In the afternoon, the KCST team began reconnaissance in the area where the soldier disappeared
using a hot liquid detector.
In the middle of the search process, Ye Rim found bloodstains and traces of the body of
someone who was forcibly dragged away.
Soon after that, she checked the DNA of the bloodstains and found a rabies virus in the
blood.
She immediately reported this to the military laboratory center and was informed that the
bloodstains contained DNA from a person whose identity was unknown.
In the evening, the KCST and search teams began to search in the forest, precisely in
the border area between North Korea and South Korea.
In the middle of the search, Dong Jin suddenly heard the sound of fast footsteps from the
other direction and found a boot belonging to the South Korean military soldier who had
disappeared.
They also tried to find the direction of the sound's source and arrived at area 21, which
was very dangerous because it was full of mines.
But in the area, they found a man running from another side, so they chased the man
with a sniffer dog.
While following the man, they suddenly saw a green-eyed man approaching them.
But the green-eyed man dashed in another direction at a very high speed that was impossible for
an ordinary human to do.
Not far from the area, the sniffer dogs moved again and finally found the body of the carousel
soldier who had disappeared a few days ago.
Seeing the condition of the soldier's corpse, Ye Rim felt something odd because the bite
marks on the neck and hands of the corpse were not the same as the bite marks of wild
animals in general.
Shortly after finding the body, KCST troops and the search team began to notice that many
stray dogs were approaching them.
After seeing that the stray dogs were the same as the wolves that had previously been
exposed to rabies, the entire squad started shooting all the stray dogs one by one in
succession.
Strangely, the stray dogs were very difficult to kill even though they had shot the stray
dogs multiple times.
Even the stray dog ??could approach the personnel and attack them individually.
After firing shots for quite a while, they were finally able to kill the stray dog.
Unfortunately, the sniffer dog that had always accompanied Dong Jin died because it was hit
by an explosion from a grenade.
The next night, Ye Rim came to the KCST laboratory to perform an autopsy on the soldier's corpse
along with the other doctors.
Based on their examination, they believe the soldier died from being attacked by a ferocious
creature.
Even in the DNA of the soldier's blood, a strange phenomenon was found where the cells
in the body suddenly mutated and formed new, more powerful cells.
The next day, Dong Jin goes on a special mission with a new bloodhound and a male soldier from
the special forces named Jun Sung.
In the mission called Polaris Mission, Dong Jin and Jun Sung will be led by a captain
named Min Kyu.
On the other hand, when Ye Rim was at the KCST headquarters, she heard a commotion inside
the laboratory autopsy room.
When she tried to check the room, she looked shocked because the room was already a mess
and a lot of blood splattered on the walls.
It turned out that the blood came from one of the soldiers who came back alive and turned
into a very savage and uncontrollable human.
Ye Rim was attacked by the soldier repeatedly until she was trapped in the room with the
savage soldier.
Fortunately, she had time to contact her friends and ask them for help so that she managed
to survive the soldiers' attack.
The following night, Ye Rim wanted to research whether the blood infected by the stray dog
??disease could bring a person back from the dead.
After Ye Rim tried to inject the blood into a dead mouse, the mouse suddenly returned
to life within seconds of the injection.
Based on the results of laboratory research, she found that the rat could come back to
life because there was a thermochemical reaction in the rat's brain caused by DNA from the
blood of a stray dog ??that had previously bitten a soldier.
But until now, the lab still does not know how the disease infects a person and how the
disease is spread from animals to humans.
To investigate this case further, she is assigned to join a special team in area 21 on a mission
called the Polaris Mission.
On the other hand, Dong Jin and the rest of the Polaris team seemed to be walking through
the forest in the border area to look for animals that had attacked the South Korean
soldiers.
When he sees someone's suspicious movement from another direction, Dong Jin immediately
runs after that person, causing him to be separated from the team.
After following the person far enough, Dong Jin suddenly lost track and realized he had
been lost in a dangerous area.
When Dong Jin was trying to find a way to return to his team, the North Korean military
troops had already caught him.
North Korean troops intend to kill him because he has violated the rules of their territory's
borders.
But just as they were about to pull the trigger from their rifles, a red-eyed creature suddenly
appeared and killed all the North Korean army troops.
Dong Jin used the opportunity to escape from that place, but the creature had already chased
and attacked him.
Luckily, Ye Rim and the other special team managed to find him and attack the creature
with lots of shots so that he survived.
After the strange creature left, Ye Rim suggested that they lure the creature to the river area
because creatures with such symptoms of rabies are usually afraid of making contact with
water.
After making the strategy, the troops began to prepare in their respective positions,
while Dong Jin served as bait for the creature and lured it to the river.
But after he managed to direct the creature into the water, it suddenly climbed the wall
very quickly and fled from the place.
Since that incident, all the members realized that they could not incapacitate the creature
with ordinary weapons because its movement was very fast.
In the evening, the special forces headquarters were suddenly attacked by a beast they had
previously found in the forest.
The attack created huge chaos within the base, killing one of the soldiers, who was also
a close friend of Dong Jin.
Seeing his friend killed by the creature's attack, he was determined to catch the creature
at any cost.
The next day when Dong Jin was patrolling the settlement near the border area, he met
a little girl named Soo Young.
Soon afterward, she gives him an old recording device previously kept by her father.
The recording device shows a tape recording showing the incident during the conflict in
the border area in 1997.
In the recording, Dong Jin finds out that the shooting incident occurred because a sergeant
named Lee Hyuk fired first.
After the shooting, Captain Jo fights with Lee Hyuk because he intends to hide the incident
from their superiors.
Lee Hyuk knew that if their leader discovered the incident, he would be expelled from the
military unit.
After seeing the footage, Dong Jin is reminded of the story of an officer who did not return
from duty because he defected to North Korea.
He concludes that the officer never defected to North Korea but was killed by his comrades.
Jun Sung denied all that because Lee Hyuk has become a member of the South Korean National
Defense Commission, and all the recordings are still not confirmed.
It turned out that the reason Jun Sung denied all of Dong Jin's accusations against Lee
Hyuk was because he was actually Lee Hyuk's son.
On the other hand, Ye Rim and the KCST team have succeeded in developing a substance that
can be used to incapacitate special troop targets because it is capable of causing severe
damage to mutated cells.
She immediately reported this to Min Kyu and other special forces members and informed
them that this method was effective enough to kill their target.
But there is one problem with this method, to make the substance work effectively, they
have to inject it directly into the target brain.
While their target is very active and has a relatively fast movement, so they should
at least be able to catch their target first.
The next day the special forces began to carry out their plan to capture the beast.
After they received the vaccine from the KCST team, they immediately evacuated all residents
of the settlement to a safer place.
After the situation was conducive, they tried to lure the creature using radio sound waves
so that the creature came to the warehouse they had prepared.
After the beasts entered the warehouse, they shot the creature with machine guns.
When the creature started to be careless, Ye Rim immediately injected the vaccine into
the creature's brain.
As a result, the creature was successfully crippled, and they had successfully completed
their mission.
That night, Dong Jin notices that the recording device he previously got from Soo Young has
suddenly disappeared.
He asked Jun Sung about the whereabouts of the recording device, but Jun Sung admitted
that he did not know anything about the recording device.
A few days later, the special forces team received news of Soo Young's disappearance
in the forest and suspected that she had entered a restricted area.
The special forces immediately rushed into the forest to find her, but all they found
was her doll and shoes.
With the help of sniffer dogs, they arrive at an abandoned building, and when they inspect
the building, they find Soo Yong.
She says there is a good man who saved her when she almost stepped on a mine, but strangely
the man has green eyes.
As Dong Jin investigates further into the old building, he finally meets the green-eyed
man mentioned earlier by Soo Young.
But strangely, the man was not aggressive like the creature that had previously attacked
the carousel.
The man even helped him when he was almost injured by an iron pipe.
After learning that the man is not a bad person, Dong Jin lowers his gun and tries to get the
man to do a high-five.
But not long after that, Min Kyu suddenly appeared and fired shots, so the man immediately
ran away.
Dong Jin told Min Kyu that the man was different from their previous target because he had
no intention of hurting anyone and only rebelled when he felt threatened.
On the other hand, the media seems to be reporting on the exact incident in the DMZ area in 1997.
The news stirred the community because Lee Hyuk, who currently serves as the head of
the defense commission, had added his own captain and hid the shooting incident from
the public.
It turns out that Jun Sung had deliberately stolen the tape from Dong Jin and handed it
over to the military police because he realized that his father had made a fatal mistake and
should be punished for his actions.
The scene briefly shows when Sang Min finds Captain Jo on a boat and takes him into an
old building.
Sang Min is the husband of Major Ri, who tried to save himself in South Korea with his wife
and baby daughter.
But after he realizes that his wife has died, he becomes very angry and intends to kill
Captain Jo.
Just as Sang Min was about to do it, the old building suddenly collapsed, and the accident
instantly killed him.
Luckily, Captain Jo managed to survive because he was accidentally hit by the radioactive
liquid brought by Sang Min.
The liquid accidentally mutates Captain Jo into a very powerful creature, and it is finally
revealed that Captain Jo is a green-eyed creature who previously helped Soo Young and Dong Jin.
The next day, Dong Jin and other special forces return to the old building to look for the
creature that previously helped Soo Young.
At the same time, Lee Hyuk also came to the operation with his troops to help the special
forces catch the strange creature.
On the other hand, the special forces led by Min Kyu began to explore every room in
the old building and began to inspect the area with a radioactive tracking device.
In the middle of the search, Dong Jin finds a photo of his mother and himself, which makes
him begin to realize that the green-eyed man is his long-lost father.
Shortly after that, Lee Hyuk and his troops suddenly appeared and immediately opened fire
on the North Korean military forces who had previously surrounded the special forces.
After Lee Hyuk's army arrived, Min Kyu was surprised because he had never received any
notification about the reinforcements.
Min Kyu's suspicions grew stronger when he saw that Lee Hyuk's troops had installed many
explosive devices on every wall of the building.
It turns out that Min Kyu's suspicions about Lee Hyuk's troops intending to kill the special
forces are proven right.
All members of Lee Hyuk's troops started shooting at the special forces team, so a shooting
between the two camps was unavoidable.
Luckily, Dong Jin and Ye Rim defeated some of Lee Hyuk's troops using explosive devices
on the orders of Min Kyu.
After that, Dong Jin tries to take the badly injured Min Kyu to a safer place while Ye
Rim tries to fight against Lee Hyuk's remaining troops.
Unfortunately, Ye Rim was caught by Lee Hyuk and his men, so when Dong Jin returned to
help her, he was forced to let go of his weapon.
Fortunately, in this crisis, Jun Sung comes and saves them from his own father.
At the same time, Captain Jo also came and attacked all of Lee Hyuk's men.
During the chaos, Lee Hyuk intended to kill Dong Jin, but Jun Sung ran and sacrificed
himself to protect Dong Jin. Lee Hyuk was so frustrated that he had killed his own son,
so he started shooting at Dong Jin and Ye Rim.
Luckily, Captain Jo managed to prevent this and beat Lee Hyuk until he fainted.
Dong Jin and Ye Rim managed to get out of the place safely, even though he had to leave
his father alone.
After they left the place, Captain Jo blew it up so he could bury Lee Hyuk in that place
with him.
Finally, the special forces managed to complete their mission even though many of their members
were injured and died in operation.
A few months later, Ye Rim discovers that she is actually a baby entrusted by Major
Ri to one of the soldiers.
And to protect her, the soldier is forced to lie and change her identity as a South
Korean citizen.
The film closes with a scene where Dong Jin and Ye Rim spend time together and start a
relationship.
The film ends.
The moral that can be learned from this movie is to always be honest and not to create false
rumors or fake news that can ruin other people's lives.
