“Based on true events, an untold story of a taxi driver.”
A Taxi Driver unfolds in Seoul during May 1980, where Man-seob, a destitute taxi driver scraping by with his young daughter, encounters a lucrative offer: a mysterious foreigner pays handsomely for a trip to Gwangju. Unaware of the journalist's covert mission, Man-seob unwittingly becomes a conduit for international media scrutiny, navigating the precarious political terrain of South Korea's turbulent past.
