Plot
The Tyrant is an upcoming masterpiece filled with action, thrill, and spy kicks. The Tyrant intends to bring science fiction and fantasy to a worldview closer to home. The director of The Tyrant, Park Hoon Jung once shared that he extends the universe of the hit Korean movie The Witch franchise.
The Witch follows a neck-and-neck race among powerful individuals who want to get the last sample of a superhuman drug called ‘The Tyrant.’ The story begins when US intelligence unravels a hidden project run by the South Korean government called The Tyrant Project.
Following this, UD asked South Korea to immediately stop all research to put an end to the project and hand over the bioweapon sample to the US. However, the process is disrupted on the way by an unknown attacker, which leads to the disappearance of the last sample.
This sets a breathtaking chase among powerful individuals who want to secure the last sample of the superhuman drug The Tyrant, with different motives pushing them.
The Tyrant Project was secretly headed by the mastermind Director Choi, who works for a government agency but wants to protect the superhuman gene drug. But he is challenged by Im Sang, a former special agent turned hitman who has been given the task of eliminating everyone connected to The Tyrant Program.
The chase for the superhuman gene becomes more complicated, with the US intelligence’s secret agent Paul breaking every rule and person to destroy The Tyrant.
