In 1988, businessman Oh Dae-su is arrested for assault and drunkenness, consequently missing his daughter's fourth birthday. Shortly after being collected by his friend Joo-hwan, Dae-su is abducted. He awakens in a sealed room with a television, from which he learns that he has been framed for his wife's murder. Growing deranged from the solitude as years pass, Dae-su theorizes about the identity of his captor, trains himself in martial arts, creates a hole in the wall with chopsticks to attempt to escape through, and attempts suicide by slitting his wrists (after which he is resuscitated).
In 2003, Dae-su is sedated, hypnotized, and released. He encounters a suicidal man about to jump off a rooftop with his dog. Dae-su relays his story to the man, allowing him to jump upon finishing. Dae-su enters a sushi restaurant and collapses after receiving a call from his captor. The chef, Mi-do, takes him in.
Dae-su and Mi-do attempt to track down Dae-su's daughter, but relent after being informed that she has been adopted by a foreign family. After identifying the restaurant that prepared his prison meals and following a delivery driver, Dae-su locates his former prison, which he discovers is a private facility where people pay to have others incarcerated. He tortures and interrogates the warden, Park, who claims Dae-su was imprisoned for talking too much. Dae-su escapes after fighting off Park's thugs.
