Ten Zan: The Ultimate Mission (aka Missione Finale) is a 1988 North Korean/Italian film, co-directed by Ferdinando Baldi and Pak Jong-ju under the pseudonym "Ted Kaplan". An action/spy film in the English language, Ten Zan was shot in North Korea using Western actors. The film portrays North Korea as a kind of futuristic society, a decision which Baldi later explained as "a conscious avoidance of reality".
Ten Zan was one of eight North Korean films to be shown at the Udine Festival of Far East Film in 2000. In a report of these screenings for Asiaweek, Richard James Havis regarded the film as "truly lamentable", saying: "The acting is worse than that of the propaganda movies, as is the plot."
