SYNOPSIS:
The story centers on a group of North and South Korean soldiers
who find themselves sent back in time just as their respective countries are locked in a tense standoff with the United
States over the status of a jointly produced nuclear warhead. The film kicks off with stock
footage of the historic meeting between the two Korean leaders in June 2000, using this real life moment as a springboard
for the film's fictional premise that North and South Korea
secretly formed an alliance, agreeing to co-produce their very own weapon of mass destruction!
But when the two Koreas decide to hand over the warhead to the United States, North Korean military officer Kang Min
Gil (Kim Seung Woo) takes matters into his own hands and steals the weapon with the help of a band of renegade soldiers and
kidnaps the female South Korean scientist (Kong Hyo Jin) who helped design it. South Korean Navy
Officer Park Jeong Woo (Hwang
Jung Min) is sent by his superiors to capture the rogue soldier and reclaim the weapon. In
the midst of a battle on the DMZ, the soldiers are suddenly transported through time due to the appearance of a mysterious
comet.
In a blink of the eye, the soldiers find themselves trapped in the 16th century, a dark time in Korean history, when
their countrymen had to fight off the advances of foreign invaders. After defeating
a band of invaders with their high-powered machine guns, the modern soldiers are hailed as heroes by the locals. Dubbed "Heaven's Soldiers," the group ends up meeting Yi Sun Shin (Park Joong Hoon), the real life admiral
who led Korea to victory against the Japanese.
However, the legendary Yi isn't quite what the soldiers expected. Rather than the mythical hero of legend, the man that the soldiers encounter is actually a thief and a rascal,
one who could not even pass the officer's exam! Deeply disappointed in their
hero, the soldiers give Yi a crash course in military education, all in the hopes he will fulfill his destiny! But will Yi discover his true calling in time to save his beloved country?
