Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Loosely inspired by real 1988 prison break chaos during Seoul's Olympic glow-up, when the city tried to hide its underbelly.
The title 'Holiday' is bitter irony — these men get one brief vacation from cages before the state crushes them. Korean cinema's 2000s crime wave loved this cynical edge.
