Na Hong-jin returns with Hope, the most intense action of 2026

Na Hong-jin returns to the big stage with Hope, a science-fiction film whose first hour overflows with action. Reinforcements fight against forest fires, communications are cut, and at the Hope police station Bum-seok and Sung-ae defend an aging village. At the same time, Sung-ki and his friends hunt the beast in the mountains, only to become targets themselves. According to AlloCine, the one-hour sequence is the most breathtaking action scene of 2026. Filmed between July 2023 and March 2024, the director's fourth feature had been long anticipated, especially after his hits The Chaser, The Murderer and The Strangers. Shown at Cannes, the film confirms Na Hong-jin's prodigy status.
