Lead Josh Brolin looks ready to do some damage as his mysteriously kidnapped advertising executive, Joe Doucet, is released after twenty years holed up in a motel hellhole. He’s on a revenge mission to seek those out for his imprisonment but he needs not ask himself why he was imprisoned for so long… but why was he’s eventually let go?
OLDBOY follows the story of an advertising executive (Josh Brolin) who is kidnapped and held hostage for 20 years in solitary confinement without any indication of his captor’s motive.

His quest for revenge leads him into an ill-fated relationship with a young social worker (Elizabeth Olsen) and ultimately to an illusive man (Sharlto Copley) who allegedly holds the key to his salvation.
