R2B: Return to Base (Korean: 알투비: 리턴투베이스; RR: Altubi: Riteontu Be-iseu) is a 2012 South Korean aviation action drama film loosely based on the 1986 film Top Gun. The film stars Rain, Shin Se-kyung and Yoo Jun-sang in lead roles. It was directed by Kim Dong-won and is a remake of Shin Sang-ok's 1964 film Red Scarf.[1][2] It is about a talented, yet troublemaking, elite air force pilot who is demoted to a combat flying unit.[3][4][5] It was released on 15 August 2012. The Republic of Korea Air Force was heavily involved in the film's production.[citation needed]
The film was the final acting project for Rain, before he enlisted to serve his mandatory military service in October after filming wrapped in September 2011.[6]
The film is also known under the alternate titles Black Eagle and Soar Into the Sun.
