D-War (, released in North America as Dragon Wars: D-War) is a 2007 fantasy monster action film written and directed by South Korean filmmaker Shim Hyung-rae and starring Jason Behr, Amanda Brooks, Craig Robinson, Elizabeth Peña and Robert Forster. The plot involves ancient Korean dragons (Imugi) appearing in modern-day Los Angeles.
The film was an international co-production between South Korea and the United States, with a mainly-Korean crew but shot in the United States with American actors. At the time of its release, it was the highest-budgeted South Korean film of all time, and was the first Korean film in nearly 30 years to receive a wide theatrical release in North America. D-War grossed $75 million worldwide and received generally negative reviews.
