Summary
Yong-gu is a man with an intellectual disability who works as a parking attendant and lives for his six-year-old daughter, Ye-seung. After the young daughter of a police commissioner dies in an accident he witnesses, he is beaten into confessing to her rape and murder and sentenced to death. Placed in Cell No. 7, he gradually wins over the hardened inmates and the wing's chief guard, who conspire to smuggle Ye-seung into the prison to see her father. A framing story set years later follows the grown Ye-seung, now a trainee lawyer, arguing his case at a retrial. Lee Hwan-kyung's South Korean film swings between broad prison comedy and melodrama.

13,058 other films from the 2010s form the cohort it is ranked inside. Only 93 of its IMDb reviewers rate with enough spread for a personal baseline to be measured, so the calibrated figure rests on a thin sample; a broader pool of 99 reviewers with at least two reviews feeds the raw-average track.
How the score was built
We compare the reviewers of this title against every other title those same people reviewed. Each review is scored relative to the reviewer's own baseline — a 7/10 from a hard grader sits well above their average, while a 7/10 from a generous grader sits below theirs. Every reviewer then counts the same, so the result is a calibrated consensus rather than a raw average.
- Global percentile
- Where Miracle in Cell No. 7 lands against every title we rank.
- In-cohort percentile
- The same comparison narrowed to its cohort — titles of the same format released in the same decade. A 1970s film is judged against 1970s films, not against last year's streaming series. Ranked against Films · 2010s (13,059 titles).
- AI-adjusted percentile
- The same reviewer-normalized score, corrected for how much confidence the sample supports: thin samples are pulled toward the corpus average. Each title keeps the share n / (n + 53) of its measured distance from the average, where n is its calibrated-reviewer count, and the result is ranked on the same scale as the global percentile.53 is the median sample size across everything we rank. Here n is 93.
