Plot

A group of unlikely heroes from across the Korean peninsula try to save the day after a volcano erupts on the mythical and majestic Baekdu Mountain.

Sinekatalog’s take

A volcano threatens a nation and a ragtag team scrambles to avert catastrophe. It piles on disaster set pieces and humour with a Korean blockbuster polish, and the formula is familiar but entertaining enough for a big-screen evening.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
