Pipeline (2021)

Other name: 파이프라인, Paipeulain

Description:

In "Pipeline," an underworld drilling prodigy, known as Drillbit, is enlisted by the ruthless head of an oil refining company, Geon Woo, for an audacious oil heist. Their target is the vast pipeline network, Korea's vital artery, specifically a high-stakes section located between Honam and the SeoulBusan highway. Drillbit assembles an unlikely team of misfits, including a civil engineer, an excavation expert, and a welding specialist, to achieve the seemingly impossible task within a tight one-month deadline.

However, their ambitious operation quickly spirals into chaos. Law enforcement gets wind of the sophisticated scheme, putting immense pressure on the crew. Further complications arise when Drillbit's mine collapses, leaving his team cornered and causing critical delays. With corporate greed pushing him, Geon Woo threatens their lives, demanding immediate completion. The team promises to finish siphoning the oil in two days, unaware of Geon Woo's sinister final plan: to blow up both the oil tank and Drillbit's entire group once the heist is complete, thrusting them all towards a catastrophic explosion.
