Park Jung-woo directed the 2016 South Korean disaster film Pandora about a nuclear power plant accident.
Pandora is a South Korean disaster film written and directed by Park Jung-woo. Its story follows a nuclear power plant worker and the wider community after an earthquake causes a serious accident. The film focuses on emergency response, sacrifice, public safety, and the human consequences of a technological catastrophe.
The title invokes the Pandora myth because the disaster releases dangers that had been contained, creating a modern metaphor for uncontrollable consequences. It is not an adaptation of the ancient Greek story, and no mythological character named Pandora appears as the film's central protagonist.
The movie is sometimes confused with South Korean filmmaker Bong Joon-ho's science-fiction film Snowpiercer or Yeon Sang-ho's Train to Busan. Those films share disaster-related themes but have different directors and stories.
