Which country produced the 2016 disaster film Pandora?

The story behind the answer

South Korea produced the 2016 disaster film Pandora.

Pandora is a South Korean film directed by Park Jung-woo. Its story follows an accident at a nuclear power plant and the crisis that unfolds after the facility is damaged. The title invokes Pandora’s myth as a metaphor for a dangerous force released from containment.

The movie was released in South Korea in December 2016. It combines disaster-thriller elements with political and family drama, focusing on workers, residents, emergency responders, and government decisions during the crisis.

Pandora is sometimes confused with films that use the mythological name only as a character or fantasy setting. This film instead uses the name symbolically for the consequences of technological failure and delayed action.
