With a talented cast and a compelling storyline, The Tyrant promises to be a standout addition to Disney+’s growing selection of international content, and we’re here to tell you more about it.

The US intelligence agency, aware of the project’s potential dangers, assigns Paul to destroy the last remaining sample.
Adding to the complexity, Ja-kyung, a skilled technician, is coerced into stealing this crucial sample, setting off a chain reaction of conflict and intrigue. You can catch a glimpse of The Tyrant in the teaser trailer released by Disney+.
