Old Boy (올드보이?, 老男孩?, OldeuboiLR, OldŭboiMR) è un film del 2003 diretto da Park Chan-wook. Tratto dal manga omonimo di e , fa parte della cosiddetta trilogia della vendetta del regista, iniziata nel 2002 da Mr. Vendetta e conclusa nel 2005 da Lady Vendetta. Il film segue la storia di Oh Dae-su, un uomo rimasto imprigionato in una cella simile ad una stanza d'albergo per quindici anni, senza sapere l'identità o le motivazioni del suo rapitore. Nonostante venga poi rilasciato, Dae-su scopre di essere ancora intrappolato in un gioco di cospirazione e violenza. Il suo desiderio di vendetta si intreccia con l'amore che prova per una giovane cuoca di sushi, Mi-do. Accolto con gran consenso dalla critica, è considerato un capolavoro del cinema sudcoreano, nonché uno dei più importanti ed influenti film degli anni 2000, diventato un vero e proprio cult negli anni a venire. Vinse il Grand Prix Speciale della Giuria al Festival di Cannes 2004, dove ricevette anche il plauso del regista statunitense Quentin Tarantino che lo definì come «il film che avrei voluto fare io».
