Post-apocalyptic TV shows and movies can go either way, whether private and personal or large-scale and rambunctious. In Netflix's trailer for Badland Hunters, however the world actually ends, Don Lee is someone you'd seriously want around.

Director Heo Myeong-haeng teams up with the Marvel Cinematic Universe and Train to Busan star for the streaming service's upcoming action film set in a post-apocalyptic Seoul. In a barren wasteland, a notorious hunter called Nam Sam does what he can to survive, including seizing an attacking crocodile by the tail in the trailer. When he makes friends with a teen who is abducted by a barbarous doctor, revenge is afoot.

With writers Kim Bo-tong and Kwak Jae-min at the helm, and Lee Hee Jun, Lee Jun-young, Roh Jeong Eui, and An Ji-hye rounding out the cast, Badland Hunters promises a brutal journey through this harsh land, where allies are few and predators are huge.

How to watch: Badland Hunters is streaming on Netflix from Jan. 26.
