Perfect Game (Korean: 퍼펙트 게임; RR: Peopekteu Geim) is a 2011 South Korean film based on the true story of rivals Sun Dong-yeol of the Haitai Tigers and Choi Dong-won of the Lotte Giants, the top pitchers in the Korea Baseball Organization league during the 1980s.[2] The rivalry between the two was further heated up by regionalism at the time with Sun representing the Jeolla Province and Choi, the Gyeongsang Province.[3]

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]
