Silver Stallion (Hangul: 은마는 오지 않는다; RR: Eunma neun oji anhneunda; lit. "The Silver Stallion Will Never Come") is an award-winning 1991 South Korean film based on the novel by Ahn Jung-hyo.
Soldiers with the U.N. forces that entered Korea during the Korean War rape a village girl named Eon-rae. The villagers ostracize Eon-rae and her son. Unable to make a living, Eon-rae joins the brothel district that has been set up near the U.N. base on the other side of the river from the village. The war and the introduction of U.S. culture break down the social order of the village. After several village children have died, the villagers put the blame on the prostitutes. Eventually the villagers, unable to maintain the village, leave their homes one by one. Eon-rae and her son also leave.
