In 1988, a businessman named Oh Dae-su is arrested for drunkenness, missing his daughter's fourth birthday. After his friend Joo-hwan picks him up from the police station, they go to a phone booth for Dae-su to call home. While Joo-hwan is talking to Dae-su's wife, Dae-su is kidnapped and wakes up in a sealed hotel room, where food is delivered through a trap-door. Watching the television, Dae-su learns that his wife has been murdered and he's the prime suspect. Dae-su passes the time shadowboxing, planning revenge and attempting to dig a tunnel to escape.

2003, 15 years have passed since he was imprisoned. Just before digging himself to freedom, Dae-su is sedated, hypnotized and wakes up on a rooftop dressed in a suit. After interacting with another person on the rooftop who later commits suicide, Dae-Su tests his fighting skills on a group of young thugs. Afterward, a mysterious beggar gives him money and a cell phone. He receives a taunting phone call from his captor, who refuses to explain the reason for his imprisonment. Later, he collapses at a sushi restaurant and is taken in by Mi-do, the restaurant's young chef. After he recovers, Dae-su tries to find his daughter and the location of his prison. Discovering that his daughter was adopted by a Swedish couple, he gives up trying to contact her. Dae-su locates the Chinese restaurant that made food for his prison and finds out the prison by following a delivery man. It's a private prison where people can pay to have others incarcerated. Dae-su enters the prison and tortures the warden, Mr. Park, who doesn't know the identity of Dae-su's captor but reveals that Dae-su was imprisoned for "talking too much". While leaving the prison, Dae-su is attacked by a large number of guards and stabbed in the back with a knife but manages to defeat them all.

Dae-su's captor, a wealthy man named Lee Woo-jin, contacts Dae-su again and gives him an ultimatum: if Dae-su discovers the motive for his imprisonment within five days, Woo-jin will kill himself. Otherwise, he will kill Mi-do. As Dae-su and Mi-do become intimate, they have sex. Meanwhile, Joo-hwan tries to contact Dae-su with some important information about Woo-jin's sister but is murdered by Woo-jin, who was secretly following him. Dae-su eventually recalls that he and Woo-jin had gone to the same high school, and he had witnessed Woo-jin committing incest with his own sister. After Dae-su told his classmates about the event, Woo-jin's sister committed suicide, leading a grief-stricken Woo-jin to seek revenge. Back in the present day, Woo-jin cuts off Mr. Park's hand, fulfilling an earlier threat by Dae-su, causing Mr. Park and his gang to seemingly join forces with Dae-su. Dae-su leaves Mi-do with Mr. Park and sets out to face Woo-jin.

At Woo-jin's penthouse, Woo-jin reveals that Mi-do is Dae-su's daughter. Woo-jin had orchestrated everything by using hypnosis to guide Dae-su to the sushi restaurant, arranging for them to meet and fall in love so that Dae-su will experience the same pain of incest that Woo-jin did. Dae-su attempts to attack Woo-jin but is beaten badly by Woo-jin's bodyguard. Dae-su manages to wound the bodyguard, but Woo-jin intervenes, killing his own bodyguard. Woo-jin reveals that Mr. Park is still working for him and threatens to tell the truth to Mi-do, who is being held in Mr. Park's new prison. Dae-su apologizes for his involvement in the death of Woo-jin's sister and humiliates himself by imitating a dog, begging Woo-jin not to tell Mi-do. When Woo-jin laughs unimpressed, Dae-su cuts out his own tongue as a sign of penance. Woo-jin finally accepts Dae-su's apology and tells Mr. Park to hide the truth from Mi-do. After entering the elevator, Woo-jin recalls his sister's suicide and shoots himself in the head with a Derringer.

In the aftermath of the event, Dae-su finds the hypnotist from the prison to erase his knowledge of Mi-do being his daughter, so that they can stay happy together. Mi-do then finds Dae-su and confesses her love for him while the two embrace. There are no signs of the hypnotist, implying that the meeting was imaginary. Dae-su breaks into a wide smile, which is then slowly replaced by a look of pain. Whether the hypnosis really worked is left unknown.

• Choi Min-sik as Oh Dae-su; he has been imprisoned for about 15 years. Choi Min-sik lost and gained weight for his role depending on the filming schedule, trained for six weeks and did most of his stunt work.
• Yoo Ji-tae as Lee Woo-jin: The man behind Oh Dae-su's imprisonment. Park Chan-wook's ideal choice for Woo-jin had been actor Han Suk-kyu, who previously played a rival to Choi Min-sik in Shiri and No. 3. Choi then suggested Yoo Ji-tae for the role, despite Park thinking him too young for the part.
• Kang Hye-jung as Mi-do: Dae-su's love interest.
• Ji Dae-han as No Joo-hwan: Dae-su's friend and the owner of an internet café.
• Kim Byeong-ok as Mr. Han: Bodyguard of Woo-jin.
• Oh Tae-kyung as young Dae-su
• Yoo Yeon-seok as young Woo-jin
• Woo Il-han as young Joo-hwan
• Yoon Jin-seo as Lee Soo-ah, Woo-jin's sister.
• Oh Dal-su as Park Cheol-woong, the private prison's manager.

The corridor fight scene took seventeen takes in three days to perfect and was one continuous take; there was no editing of any sort except for the knife that was stabbed in Oh Dae-su's back, which was computer-generated imagery.

Other computer-generated imagery in the film includes the ant coming out of Dae-su's arm (according to the making-of on the DVD the whole arm was CGI) and the ants crawling over him afterwards. The octopus being eaten alive was not computer-generated; four were used during the making of this scene. Actor Choi Min-sik, a Buddhist, said a prayer for each one. The eating of squirming octopuses (called san-nakji (???) in Korean) as a delicacy exists in East Asia, although it is usually killed and cut, not eaten whole and alive. Usually the nerve activity in the octopus' tentacles makes the pieces still squirm posthumously on the plate when served. When asked in DVD commentary if he felt sorry for Choi, director Park Chan-wook stated he felt more sorry for the octopus.

The final scene's snowy landscape was filmed in New Zealand. The ending is deliberately ambiguous, and the audience is left with several questions: specifically, how much time has passed, if Dae-Su's meeting with the hypnotist really took place, whether he successfully lost the knowledge of Mi-do's identity, and whether he will continue his relationship with Mi-do. In an interview with Park (included with the European release of the film), he says that the ambiguous ending was deliberate and intended to generate discussion; it is completely up to each individual viewer to interpret what isn't shown.

Critical response

Oldboy received generally positive reviews from critics. Review aggregation website Rotten Tomatoes gives the film a score of 80% based on 133 reviews with an average rating of 7.3/10. The site's consensus is "Violent and definitely not for the squeamish, Park Chan-Wook's visceral Oldboy is a strange, powerful tale of revenge." Metacritic gives the film an average score of 74 out of 100, based on 31 reviews.

Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times gave the film four out of four stars. Ebert remarked: "We are so accustomed to 'thrillers' that exist only as machines for creating diversion that it's a shock to find a movie in which the action, however violent, makes a statement and has a purpose." James Berardinelli of ReelViews gave the film three out of four stars, saying that it "isn't for everyone, but it offers a breath of fresh air to anyone gasping on the fumes of too many traditional Hollywood thrillers."

Stephanie Zacharek of Salon.com praised the film, calling it "anguished, beautiful, and desperately alive" and "a dazzling work of pop-culture artistry." Peter Bradshaw gave it 5/5 stars, commenting that this is the first time in which he could actually identify with a small live octopus. Bradshaw summarizes his review by referring to Oldboy as "cinema that holds an edge of cold steel to your throat." David Dylan Thomas points out that rather than simply trying to "gross us out", Oldboy is "much more interested in playing with the conventions of the revenge fantasy and taking us on a very entertaining ride to places that, conceptually, we might not want to go." Sean Axmaker of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer gave Oldboy a score of "B-", calling it "a bloody and brutal revenge film immersed in madness and directed with operatic intensity," but felt that the questions raised by the film are "lost in the battering assault of lovingly crafted brutality."

MovieGazette lists 10 features on its "It's Got" list for Oldboy and summarizes its review of Oldboy by saying, "Forget ‘The Punisher’ and ‘Man on Fire’ – this mesmerising revenger’s tragicomedy shows just how far-reaching the tentacles of mad vengeance can be." MovieGazette also comments that it "needs to be seen to be believed." Jamie Russell of the BBC movie review calls it a "sadistic masterpiece that confirms Korea's current status as producer of some of the world's most exciting cinema." Manohla Dargis of the New York Times gave a lukewarm review, saying that "there is not much to think about here, outside of the choreographed mayhem." J.R. Jones of the Chicago Reader was also not impressed, saying that "there's a lot less here than meets the eye."

In 2008, Oldboy was placed 64th on an Empire list of the top 500 movies of all time. The same year, voters on CNN named it one of the ten best Asian films ever made. It was ranked #18 in the same magazine's "The 100 Best Films of World Cinema" in 2010. In a 2016 BBC poll, critics voted the film the 30th greatest since 2000.

Chan-wook stated that he named the main character Oh Daesu "to remind the viewer of Oed
