Edgar Wright's distinct rhythmic direction and Glen Powell's explosive action synergy, combined with a resonant message that has drawn praise, make the film (director Edgar Wright, distributed by Lotte Entertainment) stand out for its unusual survival rules.

#1. A real survival game where the entire country becomes a battlefield! Do not trust anyone!

is a chase-action blockbuster that unfolds when unemployed family man 'Ben Richards' (Glen Powell) joins a global survival program to survive brutal pursuers for 30 days in exchange for a huge cash prize. The first distinguishing rule is that the survival takes place in reality. In a setting that uses the entire country as its stage rather than a confined arena, participants are placed in extreme conditions where hunters can appear at any time and any place. Moreover, the public can intervene in the game by reporting participants' real-time locations or directly pursuing them, amplifying the tension. Especially as the program's organizer, the 'network,' which will do anything for ratings, has taken over society, all elements—information, equipment and systems—are designed to disadvantage the participants, so survival in this ruthless real world, where anyone can become an enemy, will be the harshest rule.

#2. Do not let your guard down for a moment! Participants are broadcast live! Every moment is monitored!

The second distinguishing rule is that every situation is broadcast live. The drone camera called the 'rover,' which appears at decisive moments, chases and broadcasts every move of the participants in real time, from trivial movements to everyday conversations. The show, streamed live to viewers around the world, forces participants to continue the game under pressure that leaves no choice hidden for even a moment, while maximizing the brutality and urgency of the survival. Ultimate underdog 'Ben Richards' uses the live broadcast format in reverse to strike back at the corrupt system, and this setup will heighten curiosity about unpredictable developments.

#3. Endure 30 days of pursuit! No one has ever survived! Increasing prize money, rising danger!

The final distinguishing rule is the number of survival days. To win the huge prize, one must survive for 30 days in the extreme real world that is broadcast live. The prize money that accumulates each day gives participants strong motivation, but the intensity of danger and pursuit also increases, adding dense suspense to the film. Leading contender 'Ben Richards,' in a program where no one has ever survived, will deliver a thrilling edge by showing outstanding judgment and survival instincts at each moment of crisis. Promising fun differentiated from existing survival material, will delight audiences' eyes and ears as a stylish chase-action blockbuster.

Promising dopamine-fueled action thanks to Edgar Wright's distinct rhythmic direction and Glen Powell's all-out performance, is scheduled to open on Dec. 10.
