Ransomed (Korean title: 비공식작전, Bigongsigjagjeon, lit. "Unofficial Operation") is a 2023 Korean action-drama film. Taking place in 1987 during the peak of the Lebanese Civil War, the film stars Ha Jung-woo as South Korean Ministry of Foreign Affairs official Lee Min-jun. After receiving a call from MOFA Secretary and diplomat Oh Jae-seok (Hyeong-gook Im), who was kidnapped in Lebanon one year prior, Min-jun volunteers to go to the civil war-torn nation to negotiate with the diplomat's kidnappers and bring him back to South Korea. As Min-jun arrives in Beirut, he meets sleazy Korean taxi driver Kim Pan-su (Ju Ji-hoon), who is suddenly thrust into Min-jun's assignment. The film follows Min-jun and Pan-su as they make their way to the ransomed diplomat, all while carrying the $2.5 million US dollar (around $7 million USD in 2024) ransom as they are hunted down by both the local authorities and militas. The film is based on true events, the details of which the South Korean government will fully declassify in 2047.
