Joint Security Area




A Korean movie of a tragic friendship made by four people of different opposing countries. Joint Security Area is a story of friends separated by culture and difference of principles.

The story happens on a small strip of land, the DMZ or Demilitarized Zone, located between South and North Korea. Two North Korean soldiers, Lieutenant Choi and Private Jung are seemingly murdered by a South Korean soldier, Sergeant Lee Soo Hyuk (Lee Byung Hun), at the North Korean outpost in the DMZ.

To avoid nation conflict and war, a neutral officer from Switzerland, Sophie Jean (Lee Young Ae) is called to investigate of what really happened. The simple case of political intrigue turns out to be more tragic. Sophie's investigation founds out that the four soldiers, Sergeant Oh, Private Jung, Sergeant Nam, and Sergeant Lee were actually friends.

The dialogue between the four soldiers is friendly. They would talk about their lives, what's going on between their countries and girlfriends. The four soldiers enjoys every moment of their friendship, in spite of the fact that it's extremely prohibited. Until one night, that tragic moment that happen.

It's for you to find out what happened. All I can say is that, it's a movie worth watching!
