A family that gathers at a hospital to visit a sick relative becomes caught up in a terrorist attack. Three generations of the family — from grandfather to father to son — are former Marines. Director Won Shin-yun is telling the story of this unusual family in his new film, “Family Force.”

Won, who has showcased action in films including “The Battle: Roar to Victory” and “The Suspect,” is combining family relationships with comedy this time. Set at a large hospital in Seoul, the film follows three generations of a Marine family as they confront a multinational terrorist attack. Filming began in September.

At the center of the family are Cha Seung-won and Ra Mi-ran, who play a married couple. Cha plays Cheol-du, a former Marine master sergeant whose family motto is, “Once a Marine, always a Marine.” He visits the hospital where his father is admitted and ends up confronting the terrorists alongside his wife and son. Ra plays Ye-bun, Cheol-du’s wife and the emotional anchor of the three-generation Marine family. The couple’s everyday interactions and chemistry as they face a crisis are among the film’s key attractions.

Cha said he found the script particularly interesting because, although it is a story about a family coming together, “they’re not an ordinary family.” Ra acknowledged the pressure of returning to action roles after some time away, but said she would prepare according to the director’s vision for the film and her character. She also expressed hope that the cast and crew would complete filming without injuries.

Jang Ryul plays the character who stands against the family. The actor, who has appeared in “Bargain,” “My Name” and “Daily Dose of Sunshine,” plays Tae-in, who carries out a mysterious terrorist attack at the hospital with a group of multinational terrorists. He is set to drive the conflict as the family-centered comedy intersects with the tension of the terrorist attack.

Park Hyung-sik joins the cast as Cheol-hoon, the son of Cha’s and Ra’s characters. A sergeant in the Marine Corps Special Reconnaissance Unit, Cheol-hoon becomes caught up in the unexpected incident while on his final leave before discharge. The film marks his return to the big screen after about seven years and his first time taking on full-fledged action scenes in a movie. Park said he was excited even before the script reading at the thought of working with senior actors and expressed his determination to have fun making the film.

Baek Yoon-sik plays the oldest generation of the family. Cheol-sung, Cheol-du’s father, was among the first members of the Marine Corps and is a decorated war veteran. Baek, who has portrayed a wide range of characters in films including “Noryang: Deadly Sea,” “Inside Men” and “The Face Reader,” will portray the story of the Marine family alongside his son and grandson. He said he was looking forward to “showing audiences the cheerful story of a Marine family.”

“Family Force” is billed as a comic action film that puts family power ahead of combat prowess or intelligence capabilities. The story centers on how family members from different generations and with different military backgrounds clash and join forces when faced with a crisis. Attention is focused on how Won, who has crafted tense narratives in films including “Seven Days” and “Memoir of a Murderer,” will combine humor and action in the new film.

一家人聚集在医院探望生病的亲人，却意外卷入了一场恐怖袭击。这个家庭三代人——从祖父到父亲再到儿子——都是退伍海军陆战队员。导演元信允在他的新片《家族力量》中讲述了这个非同寻常的家庭的故事。

曾执导过《怒吼：胜利之战》和《嫌疑犯》等动作片的元奎刚，此次将家庭关系与喜剧元素融合。影片以首尔一家大型医院为背景，讲述了一个海军陆战队家庭三代人面对跨国恐怖袭击的故事。影片已于九月开拍。

影片的核心人物是车胜元和罗美兰，他们饰演一对夫妻。车胜元饰演的哲斗是一位退役海军陆战队军士长，他的家族格言是“一日海军陆战队员，终身海军陆战队员”。他前往医院探望住院的父亲，最终与妻子和儿子一起对抗恐怖分子。罗美兰饰演哲斗的妻子艺芬，她是这个三代海军陆战队员家庭的情感支柱。这对夫妻在危机时刻的日常互动和默契配合是影片的一大亮点。

车说他觉得剧本特别有意思，因为虽然讲的是一个家庭团聚的故事，“但他们并不是一个普通的家庭”。罗承认阔别动作戏一段时间后重返动作片领域压力很大，但她表示会根据导演对影片和角色的构想做好准备。她也希望剧组人员能够平安顺利地完成拍摄。

张烈饰演与家人对立的角色。这位曾出演过《讨价还价》、《我的名字。》和《阳光灿烂的日子》的演员，饰演泰仁，他与一群跨国恐怖分子在医院发动了一场神秘的恐怖袭击。随着这部以家庭为中心的喜剧与恐怖袭击的紧张气氛交织在一起，他将成为推动剧情发展的关键人物。

朴炯植加盟本片，饰演车和罗饰演角色的儿子哲勋。哲勋是海军陆战队特种侦察部队的一名士官，在退役前的最后一次休假中，意外卷入了一场突发事件。这部电影标志着朴炯植时隔七年重返大银幕，也是他首次挑战完整的动作戏。朴炯植表示，在剧本研读之前，想到能与资深演员合作就让他兴奋不已，并决心在拍摄过程中享受乐趣。

白允植饰演家族中的长辈。哲成（哲斗的父亲）是海军陆战队的首批成员之一，也是一位功勋卓著的退伍老兵。白允植曾在《鹭梁岛》、《局内人》和《观相》等影片中塑造过各种类型的角色，此次他将与儿子和孙子共同演绎这个海军陆战队家族的故事。他表示，非常期待“向观众展现这个海军陆战队家族的温馨故事”。

《家族力量》被誉为一部喜剧动作片，强调家族力量而非战斗技巧或情报能力。故事围绕着不同世代、拥有不同军事背景的家族成员展开，讲述他们在危机时刻如何冲突与联手。影片的焦点在于，曾执导过《七日》和《杀人者的回忆录》等紧张刺激影片的元奎恩，将如何在新作中融合幽默与动作元素。
