==Plot Synopsis by AsianWiki Staff ©==
A heroin deal is set to occur at a nightclub. Undercover police are also in the nightclub waiting to make their move. A nightclub employee takes the heroin into the locker room. While the nightclub employee changes out of his uniform he is tazered from behind. Hyo-Jeong ([[Kim Hyo-Seo]]), a dancer at the nightclub, walks off with the heroin.

Cha Tae-Sik ([[Won Bin]]), known only as "ajusshi" in his neighborhood, runs a dilapidated pawn shop in a seedy part of town. He associates little with those around him except a young girl named So-Mi ([[Kim Sae-Ron]]). So-Mi lives near Cha Tae-Sik's pawn shop and often comes over when her junkie mother Hyo-Jeong has men over. One day, So-Mi's mother Hyo-Jeong comes into the pawn shop. She pawns off to Cha Tae-Sik a bag with a camera, which he will hold until she pays him back. Cha Tae-Sik is unaware that in the bag is the heroin she stole from the nightclub.

In a few days vicious mafia men come looking for So-Mi's mother knowing she stole the drugs. In the process they break into Cha Tae-Sik's pawn shop and holds him up. He hears on a cellphone young So-Mi's screaming voice and then gives the gangsters the bag that was brought to him by So-Mi's mother. The gangsters leave the pawn shop, but before they leave they shoot one of their own men dead. The gangsters also drive off with So-Mi and her mother.

Cha Tae-Sik must now go after the dangerous mobsters who stole So-Mi. In the process, Cha Tae-Sik must also face off against the police and his own mysterious past …

==Notes==
# Korean title "Ajusshi" means literally "mister".
# Director [[Lee Jeong-Beom]] started writing the screenplay in January, 2010. The first draft was finished in 3 months.
# Initially the main character was written as a 60 year old North Korean agent, but then revised to a 40 year old man. By chance actor [[Won Bin]] read the script and wanted to play the main character. The main character was then re-written to accomodate his younger age and his background as well.
# [[Yang Ik-Jun]] was originally cast to play a detective, but due to differences with the production staff dropped out of the film. In his place actor [[Kim Tae-Hun]] took over his role.
# Filming began December, 2009.
# The notable scene with actor [[Won Bin]] jumping out of a window while being pursued by police officers was actually filmed in several takes. A cameraman ran behind the actor as he jumped out the window and both used wires.
# "The Man From Nowhere" opened #1 at the South Korean box office collecting 702,631 admissions on its opening August 6 - 8 weekend. The movie took the #1 spot for ticket sales for 5 weeks straight & currently sold a total of 6,170,611 tickers.[http://asianwiki.com/South_Korea_Weekly_Box_Office]
