The Grand Heist (Hangul: 바람과 함께 사라지다; RR: Baramgwa Hamkke Sarajida; lit. "Gone With the Wind") is a 2012 South Korean historical comedy film about a gang of 11 thieves who try to steal ice blocks from the royal storage, Seobingo, during the last years of the Joseon era. It was released on August 8, 2012.
In the late 18th century of Joseon Dynasty (1392-1910), during the last years of King Yeongjo’s reign. Ice is a commodity more valuable than gold. Blocks of it are harvested from frozen rivers in winter, put in royal storage and distributed or sold throughout the year for general consumption. When corrupt officials conspire to form a monopoly and fix its price, a gang of 11 professionals is formed to stop the scheme — and to do that they must make all the royal ice blocks in five storage rooms disappear for a night.
The film drew 4 million viewers in just 19 days after its release, becoming the seventh homegrown movie in Korea to achieve the feat in 2012. Its total admissions is at a little over 4.9 million.
The film ranked second and grossed ₩9,615,802,659 in its first week of release, and grossed a total of ₩33,693,067,319 domestically after five weeks of screening.
