Based on a true story set in 1980, a down-on-his-luck taxi driver from Seoul is hired by a foreign journalist who wants to go to the town of Gwangju for the day. They arrive to find a city under siege by the military government, with the citizens, led by a determined group of college students, rising up to demand freedom. What began as an easy fare becomes a life-or-death struggle in the midst of the Gwangju Uprising, a critical event in modern South Korea.

COMMUNITY REVIEWS

A taxi driver submitted by yufamily on June 12, 2022, 5:10pm It's worth a watch as it's based on a true story. Reporters put their lives on the line to get the truth out.

It IS based on a horrific true story, but instead of RESPECTING the documentary aspect, they made a godam Hollywood farce. submitted by Tassos on February 25, 2023, 8:02am Worthy topic, disappointing execution.
