The sports movie revisits one of the most exciting matches in Korean baseball history on May 16, 1987, which would be the last time the two stars would face each other, and ended in a 15-inning draw, although neither actually pitched a perfect game.[4][5][6][7] It stars Cho Seung-woo as Choi and Yang Dong-geun as Sun.[8][9][10][11][12]
