‘Harbin’​ is a film about a breathtaking chase and suspicion between those who head to Harbin with a single goal in 1909 and those who pursue them.

‘Harbin’ easily surpassed 83,383 advance reservations as of 12:46 PM on December 15 (Sun), 9 days before its release, according to the Integrated Computer Network for Movie Tickets, and took first place in overall advance reservations. Amidst high expectations, the movie proved the anticipation for the movie by taking first place in advance reservations 9 days before its release, beating out competing films such as ‘Firefighter’ and ‘Mufasa: The Lion King’.
