Emergency Declaration (2022)

Emergency Declaration is a 2021 South Korean disaster-action film directed by Han Jae-rim and starring Song Kang-ho, Lee Byung-hun, Jeon Do-yeon and Kim Nam-gil. The film is based on a real aviation disaster in which an airplane declared a high alert and demanded unconditional landing. The filming restarted on September 12, 2020, after a postponement due to the COVID-19 resurgence in August 2020.

Veteran detective In Ho (Song Kang-ho) receives a report from a man about an airplane terrorist attack and while investigating, he finds out that the suspect actually boarded the KI501. Despite his phobia of airplanes, Jae Hyuk (Lee Byung-hun) decides to go to Hawaii for his daughter. At the airport, Jae Hyuk is distracted by a suspicious man with a threatening tone, walking around. The KI501 flight departs Incheon Airport and heads for Hawaii, but soon a man dies for an unknown reason, and the situation of fear and confusion spreads not only on the plane but also on the ground. Upon hearing the news, the Minister of Land, Infrastructure, and Transport Sook-Hee (Jeon Do-yeon) formed a counter-terrorism countermeasure headquarters and convened an emergency response meeting to find a way to land the KI501.
