Chae-yoon Ha, the country’s top negotiator known for her unshakable composure in any situation, is left reeling after a mission ends in tragedy, with both hostages and captors dead. Ten days later, Tae-gu Min, an international arms dealer on the police blacklist, kidnaps Korean police officers and journalists in Thailand, naming Chae-yoon as the negotiator. With no clear reason, purpose, or demands, Min unleashes the deadliest hostage situation yet, while Chae-yoon must confront him without yielding an inch. With only 12 hours left, a life-or-death negotiation begins. 

Director Lee Jong-seok’s 2018 crime thriller The Negotiation was praised for its top acting talent, storytelling twists and turns, and strong female in a famously gritty genre.
