Director Park Chan-wook is set to heat up the fall box office with his new film "No Other Choice," which will be released in theaters on September 24, distributed by CJ ENM. The main trailer has also been unveiled, raising expectations.

Story of Survival and Competition

The trailer opens with Mansoo (played by Lee Byung-hun), who enters a tense job interview after being suddenly laid off. As the interview begins, an unexpected twist unfolds when two fellow candidates mysteriously disappear. Despite the tense atmosphere, Mansoo lightens the mood with sarcastic remarks to the detectives investigating the case.

His wife Miri (played by Son Ye-jin) faces the shock of her husband's dismissal with calm determination, even giving up her beloved hobby of tennis to help sustain the family. The tagline "Four people, one position" hints at the desperate rivalry awaiting the characters.

Star-Studded Cast and Fierce Rivalries

Alongside Lee Byung-hun, the film features Lee Sung-min as Beommo, Cha Seung-won as Sijo, Park Hee-soon as Seonchul, and Yum Hye-ran as Ara. Intense physical clashes between Mansoo and his competitors, including Ara and her husband, highlight the high-stakes battle for survival.

A Crime Thriller with Social Resonance

"No Other Choice" is described as a crime thriller about a man forced into the brutal reality of re-employment after an unexpected layoff. The story blends family drama with fierce competition, reflecting broader social anxieties about job insecurity in Korea.

The Korea Media Rating Board has classified the film as suitable for ages 15 and older, which could broaden its audience and increase box office potential. "No Other Choice" will premiere nationwide on September 24.
