Synopsis: Jae-Hyeok (Kim Nam-Gil) lives with his mother (Kim Young-Ae), his sister-in-law (Moon Jeong-Hee) and nephew Min-Jae (Bae Gang-Yoo) in a small Korean town. He is dating Yeon-Joo (Kim Joo-Hyun), while working at the local nuclear power plant. Meanwhile, Pyung-Sub (Jung Jin-Young) works at the same nuclear power plant. He is worried about conditions there, but nobody in the government listens to him. An earthquake strikes the small town where Jae-Hyeok lives and causes explosions at the nuclear power plant. The situation quickly spirals out of control, leading the entire nation to panic. To prevent another nuclear disaster, Jae-Hyeok and his co-workers return to the nuclear power plant.

How could you hide this news?

Does that make any sense?

We didn't want to make

you worry.

I'm sorry.

Does an apology solve this

problem?

This is a nuclear power plant

accident! An accident!

Please calm down and let's

discuss countermeasures.

If cooling water is leaking, then

radiation is also leaking.

That's correct.

But it is currently limited to the

power plant itself.

We will first issue a blue alert

and evacuate the residents.

Then handle that quickly.

Just a moment.

You should reconsider

evacuating the residents.

Why?

The citizens are concerned

about radiation.

They already know too well

about nuclear power plant

accidents.

In this case, if we broadcast

news of an accident,

and an emergency evacuation

of residents,

regardless of the size of the

accident and evacuation,

there will be a national panic.

So you want to conceal those

facts, also?

After the event, it may be

condemned.

But it is better than a hasty

decision that creates confusion.

The company's safety team will

soon be on site to handle the

situation.

Furthermore, our power station's

security control system was

constructed in stages.

The situation is not as serious

as you believe.

Manager!

The water pressure is too high!

Right now it's at 350 kPa!

Why is the hydrogen furnace

not working?

It's working, but is useless with

the pressure rising so fast.

When can the reserve pipeline

be connected?

We need to quickly transport

cooling water!

It's not as easy as it sounds!

The pressure is already at 420.

If it continues, it will explode!

Get here immediately, damn it!

We're the safety team from

headquarters.

You got here quickly.

Who is the person in charge here?

I'm the one in charge.

What is the present situation?

Cooling water leak and nuclear

reactor pressure is rising,

and there is no way to stop it.

How high is the pressure?

It is currently at 350 kPa.

It's too high. We must vent

it quickly!

That's true, but...

Venting is not something we

can decide.

Please wait.

Hey.. What does vent mean?

It means reactor gas emission

to the outside.

Emission?

You said we only needed to

replace the pipeline.

Didn't you say it could be

repaired?

It appears the situation is

more serious than I was told.

I estimate it has reached a

core meltdown.

A meltdown?

If the fuel rod is exposed to air,

the fuel rod temperature will

rise and the fuel will melt.

That is a reactor core meltdown.

This will produce hydrogen.

The hydrogen gas increases

pressure inside the furnace.

The pressure that can be

contained by the reactor is limited.

It has now exceeded that limit.

If it continues,

it will certainly explode.

Then radiation will be emitted

into the air?

Yes, that's correct.

Then we must quickly evacuate

the residents.

Issue an evacuation order

immediately.

Mr. President,

There are 946,000 residents

within 20 km from the power

station.

There are 946,000 residents

within 20 km from the power

station.

Within 30 km are Busan, Ulsan,

and Yangsan.

Within 30 km are Busan, Ulsan,

and Yangsan.

Altogether, there are about

3.4 million residents.

Evacuation is impossible.

Isn't there an evacuation plan

to deal with this situation?

There is... no plan like that.

There is... no plan like that.

That's because there was no

practical way to carry it out.

But...

we should at least evacuate

residents near the power station.

During ventilation, they would

be the first to suffer fatal injuries.

There are 17,000 people in the

villages within 5 km.

To evacuate so many people

will take at least 3 hours.

If the reactor exploded in the

middle of that process,

the situation will worsen.

Worst case scenario, 50 million

people will be in danger.

It must be vented immediately.

Mr. President.

Mr. President.

Yes. I understand.

Yes. I understand.

Prepare to vent.

Emergency evacuation of

nearby residents.

What are you saying?

Hurry!

Hurry!

Get on the bus according to

your village.

I understand.

That. That is the bus we take.

Aigoo. Isn't that Yeon Ju?

Yeon Ju!

Auntie!

What is this all about?

I don't know exactly, either.

Hurry and get on the bus.

It's probably nothing.

Right?

It's probably nothing serious,

right?

That's right, Auntie.

Get on the bus.

Let's go.

Have you talked to brother-in-

law on the phone?

He's not answering.

I'll try calling him again.

Hurry, get Min Jae on the bus.

Stop working!

Get out quickly!

There's a big problem!

Put everything down and

get out!

What's wrong?

What are you talking about?

Stop the nonsense.

The nuclear furnace is filled with

hydrogen and is about to explode!

An emergency evacuation is

being conducted of the nearby

villages,

so we can't ventilate yet.

If there's an explosion, we're

all dead!

I said this would happen!

Hurry, get out!

Run!

Manager,

the workers are leaving their

posts and running away!

Then there is no way to

reduce the pressure!

All of you!

Why are you standing there?

Get out!

Jae Hyeok!

Get up quickly!

Jae Hyeok!

What should we do?

Those damn bastards.

What's going on?

Why is the front exit blocked?

The door closes automatically,

blocking the exit!

We're supposed to die in here?

It seems that way.

Hyeongnim.

Gil Seop, come and help.

Okay!

Lift it up!

Find something to wedge this!

What are you all doing?

Hurry and get back to work!

Until it's confirmed to be safe,

no one can leave!

Isn't this place about to explode?

Do you think if you run now

you'll be able to live?

Whether you're 10 or 100 km

away, you're still going to die!

If we die, we should all die

with our families.

Let us out.

Do you still not understand me?

Get back to work quickly.

That's the only way to save

your families and yourselves.

Cut the bullshit and open

this door!

I said the door won't open

until it's confirmed to be safe.

You bastards.

Let me go in. I have to go in.

Get out of here!

Why won't you let me in? Why?

Get out of the way!

There's an emergency

situation and you can't go in!

Go back!

My son is in there, you idiots!

Go back. Get out of here!

- Gil Seop!

- Don't go in there!

It's more than 400 kPa!

Pressure values are rising rapidly!

Make the call!

It's really annoying.

I'm sure something must have

happened.

What do you mean?

Just be quiet back there!

How is the evacuation going?

Wolchon, Eunhang, Gangnae,

Juhwa, Ingye, and others.

More than 17,000 people

surrounding the power plant.

They're being evacuated to a

designated shelter 10 km away

from the power plant.

But Highway 36 is the only

evacuation route,

so there's a very serious

traffic jam.

How much longer until the

evacuation is completed?

With the current conditions,

at least 2 more hours.

How is the situation at the

power plant?

The pressure value is 3 times

the normal limit.

We can't delay any further.

It must be vented immediately.

We must wait until all residents

are evacuated.

For the sake of just 17,000
