Here’s a write-up for The Tiger (2015), a South Korean period action-drama film, with details about its English-subtitled version. “In the final days of Japanese occupation, the last mountain tiger fights back—and so does a broken hunter.” Overview Released in 2015 and directed by Park Hoon-jung ( New World , The Witch: Part 1 ), The Tiger (Korean title: Daeho / 대호) is a visually stunning, emotionally brutal film set in 1925 during Japan’s colonial rule over Korea. Blending historical drama, action, and ecological tragedy, it tells the story of a legendary man-eating tiger and the aging hunter who once feared—and revered—him. Plot Summary In the frozen mountains of northern Korea’s Mount Jirisan, a one-eyed tiger known as “The Mountain Lord” has become the last remaining royal tiger. Japanese colonial authorities, seeking both the tiger’s prized pelt and to crush Korean spirit, order a hunt. They assemble a ragtag team of local hunters, including Chun Man-duk (Choi Min-sik, of Oldboy fame), a once-great hunter now living in guilt and seclusion after a traumatic encounter with the tiger years earlier.
