The trailer highlights the film’s action-packed sequences involving a group of survivors trying to find a way to escape a failing bridge while also evading lethal military experiments from killing them. It also teases one of Lee’s final performances following his tragic death in 2020. After facing drug allegations, the acclaimed 48-year-old actor was found dead in his car due to carbon monoxide poisoning. Prior to his death, he gained international recognition for his role in Bong Joon-ho’s Oscar-winning movie Parasite.

“Due to sudden deteriorating weather conditions, visibility on the Airport Bridge is severely impaired, leaving people stranded and at risk of the bridge collapsing due to a series of chain collisions and explosions,” reads the film’s official synopsis. “Amidst the chaos, the canine subjects ‘Echo’ from the military experiment ‘Project Silence,’ who were being transported in secret, break free, and all human survivors become targets of relentless attacks. Various individuals find themselves stranded on the Airport Bridge for different reasons — a government official from the presidential office, who was seeing off his daughter (KIM Su An) at the airport; a tow truck driver, who was on his way to a multi-collision scene; an elderly couple, who were returning from a trip abroad; sisters, who missed their flights, and Dr. Yang the researcher responsible for Project Silence — and a desperate struggle begins for them to escape to safety.”

Project Silence is directed by Tae-gon Kim, who co-wrote the movie with Yong-hwa Kim and Joo-Suk Park. The film also stars Kim Hee-won, Moon Sung-Keun, Ye Soo-jung, Kim Tae-woo, Park Ju-hyun, Park Hee-bon as Miran and more. It is produced by Yong-hwa Kim.
