The Admiral: Roaring Currents

1597. Joseon Dynasty. Korea has been under relentless Japanese attack for six years. On the eve of the nation's defeat, Admiral Yi Sun-Shin is reappointed as the Chief of Naval Operations and assembles a group of soldiers to defend the nation in The Battle of Myeong-Nyang.

With just 12 battleships and an army of doubtful soldiers at his command, the Admiral faces an overwhelming opposing Japanese fleet of 330 ships. It is an event that will go down in history as one of the greatest naval battles the world has seen and Korean history’s most astonishing military victory.

Critic Reviews:

• " Korea's national hero Admiral Yi is brought to life as Choi Min-sik in a big budget but rather one-dimensional spectacle. " – Andrew Heskins

• " A huge box-office success overseas, this epic-in-every-way impresses through its sheer mass and volume. " – David Noh

• " There's a commanding sense of scale and heft on screen; one achieved without sacrificing coherency or personal stakes. " – Dave Crewe
