A 1970s seaside crime caper with an all-women crew at its center. When industrial pollution devastates their fishing village, a group of haenyeo (Korea's legendary free-diving women) take up smuggling, outmaneuvering the men who believe they are in control. From Veteran and Escape from Mogadishu director Ryoo Seungwan, Smugglers trades urban grit for sun-soaked harbors, neon-lit dance halls, and underwater action featuring choreography inspired by synchronized swimming. A film ideally suited for 4K UHD, with Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos enhancing every detail. This collector's edition pairs the film's first 4K presentation with a steelbook and book set built for display, not just storage.

Story: A chemical plant arrives in the seaside village of Guncheon, and the local haenyeo (women divers) are suddenly out of work. When Chunja (Kim Hyesoo) brings a smuggling offer to Jinsook (Yum Jungah), leader of the divers, the two get pulled into a high-stakes operation run by a notorious boss, Sergeant Kwon (Zo Insung). The bigger the score gets, the harder it becomes to know who to trust.
Genres: Action, Crime, Drama Director: Ryoo Seungwan Starring: Kim Hyesoo, Yum Jungah, Zo Insung, Park Jeongmin, Kim Jongsoo, Go Minsi
