The Tower is a 2012 action-thriller movie directed by Kim Ji-hoon and stars Kim Sang-kyung, Sol Kyung-gu, and Son Ye-jin. The movie is set during the Christmas season in Seoul and tells the story of a catastrophic fire that breaks out in a luxurious, state-of-the-art high-rise building called Tower Sky. The Tower is the tallest building in Korea and houses a shopping mall, a hotel, and luxury apartments.

The movie starts with the introduction of Lee Dae-ho (played by Kim Sang-kyung), a single father and the chief of security at Tower Sky.

As the party is in full swing, the unthinkable happens: a massive fire breaks out in the building. The fire quickly spreads, and panic ensues as people try to find a way out. Dae-ho and his team of security guards try to evacuate everyone from the building, but the massive blaze makes it impossible. Many are trapped on the upper floors of the building, with no way to escape.

The firefighters, led by Kang Young-ki (played by Sol Kyung-gu), race to the scene, but the chaotic conditions and the scale of the fire make it difficult for them to gain control of the situation. Moreover, the cold weather and freezing rain make the conditions even worse. Eventually, they realize that they can't put out the fire and must focus on rescuing the trapped occupants.
