A new sexy spy thriller that captures the best of a proven blockbuster genre, this live-action movie is a spin-off to the hit Korean series IRIS (????, 2009). Three actors from ATHENA: GODDESS OF WAR were nominated for Best Actress and Best Actor awards. Beautiful double-agent Yoon Hye-in (Soo Ae) is caught in the middle of a game of nuclear espionage -- and torn between two very different men. One heroically fights beside her on the anti-terror task force known as NTS. The other ruthlessly controls Athena, the extremist organization NTS is trying to stop. As Yoon Hye-in struggles to choose between them, growing suspicions from all sides put her life on the line. Can she keep her double-life hidden? How long can she play both sides of the law -- and two powerful men -- before her cover is violently compromised? The countdown to an explosive stand-off begins now!
