The 2016 South Korean disaster film Pandora is set largely around what type of facility?

The 2016 South Korean disaster film Pandora is set largely around a nuclear power plant.

Directed by Park Jung-woo, Pandora follows workers and residents affected by an accident at a nuclear power station. The film focuses on the human and political consequences of the disaster, including emergency decisions, public communication, and the risks faced by plant employees.

Its title refers to the Pandora myth because the accident unleashes dangers that cannot easily be contained. The movie uses the disaster-film format to examine institutional responsibility and the vulnerability of ordinary people during a national emergency.

Pandora was released in South Korea in 2016. It is separate from the 1929 German film Pandora’s Box and from the Greek myth itself. The shared name is a thematic reference to consequences escaping from a sealed source.
