What happens

Peninsula (Korean: 반도; Hanja: 半島; RR: Bando; marketed internationally as Train to Busan Presents: Peninsula) is a 2020 South Korean post-apocalyptic horror themed Action film co-written and directed by Yeon Sang-ho. It is a standalone sequel to the 2016 film Train to Busan, the second live-action feature film and the third overall installment in the Train to Busan film series. The story follows a former soldier tasked with retrieving a truck full of money from the wastelands of South Korea, now inhabited by zombies, rogue militia, and survivors. The film stars an ensemble cast featuring Gang Dong-won and Lee Jung-hyun. Peninsula was chosen to premiere in the 2020 Cannes Film Festival, which was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The film was instead released theatrically in South Korea on 15 July 2020, while also being shown at the 25th Busan International Film Festival on 21 October 2020. It grossed $42.7 million worldwide on a $16 million budget but received generally mixed reviews from critics, who found it inferior to the first film. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
