As the maritime crime film Smugglers, which unfolds as a major game changer in front of people who made a living by salvaging goods thrown into the sea, approaches its release on July 26th, it lifts its veil for the first time at the production briefing today. Amidst the growing anticipation for Smugglers, the film shares the exciting points that make it a highly anticipated summer blockbuster.

The first point of anticipation is the return of the "veterans" of summer films. The film company "Filmmaker R&K," which has been striving to deliver the highest quality to audiences through a combination of innovative planning and talented directors, and the genre film's representative figure, director Ryu Seung Wan, will present Smugglers. It is planned to showcase a crime drama with a unique twist, as the stage of the female divers shifts from the sea and a small fishing village to a city of smuggling.

 Smugglers have prepared to captivate audiences this summer with the refreshing emotions characteristic of summer films that traverse the sea and the city.

The second point of anticipation is the fresh combination of trustworthy actors. From big names like Kim Hye Soo, Yeom Jung Ah, Zo In Sung, Park Jung Min, and Kim Jong Soo to actors with fresh charm, they have gathered for Smugglers.

Helmed by director Ryu Seung Wan, Smugglers is a film where actors of various genre come together. The casting combination of actors never seen before has also garnered high expectations from prospective audiences. It is projected to serve moviegoers with a captivating cast this summer.

Lastly, an unmissable point of excitement is the spectacle and vitality that can only be experienced in theaters. The film's highlight is the underwater scenes conducted by the Smugglers team, who carried out unprecedented underwater filming under the guidance of underwater ballet experts.

In addition to the intense action taking place on land, the film Smugglers raises audience satisfaction with its distinctive composition, including the visual of the fictional city of smuggling that feels like a real existence, different from previous crime films. It was crafted with endless technical challenges and a passion for cinematic perfection.

As audience expectations for theatrical screenings have recently increased, Smugglers is expected to demonstrate a new direction for Korean theatrical films.

The film Smugglers, which will awaken the joy of watching movies in theaters this summer, will be released on July 26th.
