An advertising executive (Josh Brolin) who was inexplicably abducted and placed in solitary confinement for 20 years seeks revenge against his mysterious captors in Spike Lee's remake of director Chan-wook Park's critically acclaimed 2003 thriller (adapted from a popular manga of the same name). Teaming with a young social worker in his desperate search for answers, the newly freed man falls into a treacherous web of conspiracy that could be his undoing.
