Escape

Military camps near the DMZ of a divided land, where the South is the land of freedom, and the opposite side is the land of repression. Sergeant Gyu-nam, who has been planning an escape to the South for a long time, gets caught while stopping a common soldier, Dong-hyuk, from escaping. At the risk of execution, State Security Department Major Hyun-sang recognizes Gyu-nam from childhood. Instead of accusing him, Hyeon-sang decides to make Gyu-nam a hero who caught a deserter. Hyeon-sang, therefore, has succeeded in securing his performance records by saving Gyu-nam’s life. Nevertheless, Gyu-nam wants to live his life by his own will, not the government’s commands. He never gives up on crossing the border. On the other hand, Hyeon-sang desperately stops Gyu-nam to protect his life, which has been built by giving up his dream.
