Peninsula (Korean: 반도; Hanja: 半島; RR: Bando; marketed in North America, British Isles and India as Train to Busan Presents: Peninsula) is a 2020 South Korean action horror heist film directed by Yeon Sang-ho.[4][5] It is a standalone sequel to the 2016 film Train to Busan and follows a former soldier who is sent along with a team to retrieve a truck full of money from the wastelands of the Korean peninsula now inhabited by zombies, rogue militia, and a family.
Peninsula was chosen to be shown in the Official Selection of the 2020 Cannes Film Festival, which was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The film was shown in the Panorama section of 25th Busan International Film Festival on October 21, 2020.[6]
The film was released in South Korea on 15 July 2020. It has grossed $42.7 million worldwide, but received generally mixed reviews from critics, who found it inferior to the first film.
where the government is overwhelmed in a day. Korea Marine Captain Jung-seok drives his family members to a ship. On the way, he encounters a couple with a young daughter, but he ignores their pleas for help as the man is bleeding. Jung-seok's family board a ship where an infected man turns into a zombie and infects several people in a cabin, including Jung-seok's nephew Dong-hwan. Jung-seok's sister refuses to leave Dong-hwan, so Jung-seok closes off the cabin while zombies bite her. Jung-seok stops his brother-in-law Chul-min from entering as armed soldiers arrive. Other nations contain the outbreak by quarantining South Korea.
Four years later in Hong Kong, a guilt-ridden Jung-seok and Chul-min are recruited by Chinese mobsters for a mission with two other Koreans to return to South Korea and retrieve a truck containing US$20 million; if successful, they will supposedly receive half of the money. The team arrives at the peninsula at night by boat and finds the truck. The team fends off and kills the zombie truck driver, making noises that attract more zombies. Jung-seok shoots several, and the team escapes.
