When dense fog blankets the iconic Incheon Airport Bridge, what begins as a routine morning commute turns into an unthinkable nightmare. Talchul Project Silence (2023) throws viewers headfirst into a catastrophic chain-reaction crash that traps dozens of drivers, each struggling to survive amid wreckage and uncertainty. Among them is Cha Jung-won (played by the late Lee Sun-kyun) and his young daughter, whose desperate fight for safety forms the emotional heart of the story.
But the disaster doesn’t end with mangled vehicles and blocked passage. Unbeknownst to the civilians, a covert military transport is caught in the chaos, carrying a classified experiment known as “Project Silence.” Onboard are genetically engineered canines, designed initially as elite rescue dogs. However, once unleashed, these creatures spiral out of control, transforming from protectors into relentless predators. Suddenly, survival on the bridge is no longer about weathering the fog or avoiding collapsing steel—it’s about escaping beasts that hunt with precision and fury.
Director Kim Tae-gon crafts a nerve-wracking atmosphere where every step feels perilous. The combination of natural disaster, human vulnerability, and science gone wrong delivers a layered thriller that’s as much about human endurance as it is about terror. The fog-draped visuals intensify the claustrophobic dread, while the decaying bridge becomes both a prison and a battleground.
Talchul Project Silence isn’t just a survival thriller—it’s a poignant reminder of how fragile order becomes when human ambition tampers with nature. At its core lies a story of family, courage, and the thin line between control and chaos. For fans of disaster epics and creature features, this film delivers heart-stopping action, emotional stakes, and haunting spectacle in equal measure.
