A Taxi Driver (Korean title: 택시운전사, Taeksi unjeonsa) is a 2017 Korean thriller-drama film. Set in 1980 during the military dictatorship and martial law of Chun Doo-hwan, the film, which is based on true events, follows Kim Man-seob (Song Kang-ho), a poor taxi driver from Seoul who offers to drive German journalist Jürgen "Peter" Hinzpeter (Thomas Kretschmann) to the blockaded city of Gwangju during the Gwangju Uprising, unaware of the military's severe crackdown on the city's protesting citizens. Despite the mostly-fictional depiction of the taxi driver who drove the real Jürgen Hinzpeter to Gwangju, the film still received local and international acclaim for its unique depiction of the Gwangju Uprising, and was nominated as the South Korean entry for the Best Foreign Language Film award at the 90th Academy Awards.
