While Professor Yun, one of the world's leading authority on genetics, is abroad, Oh In-cheol and his fiancee Yun Jin-suk take the professor's papers from his laboratory. In-cheol and Jin-suk are researching the principle of the chlorophyll and a pill that can make people invisible. In-cheol becomes invisible and catches bank con-men and child kidnappers, etc. He works hard to expose society's evil and he is pasted all over newspapers. However, the criminals follow him and discover his identity. They steal his invisible pills. The criminals become invisible and they go on to commit their crimes such as robbing banks. But they don't have any pills to reverse the effects. The criminals ultimately come to In-cheol looking for the reverse pills when they are caught by the police.
Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
