What Emergency Declaration Is About

On a flight from Seoul to Honolulu one of the passengers releases a biological agent. On the ground a detective works on the threat, and in the air there is no country left that will let the plane land. The film draws its real tension less from the aircraft than from the decision-making on the ground: which country takes responsibility, whether it will admit its own citizens, who signs. The narrative ties that question openly to the pandemic years. Han Jae-rim directed. Song Kang-ho, Lee Byung-hun and Jeon Do-yeon lead. It screened out of competition at Cannes. Before watching: it runs close to two and a half hours and some viewers found the decision thread in the last section overextended. Illness and death are also shown directly.
