Escape Plan
No one breaks out alone.
Directed by Mikael Håfström
Produced by Knightsbridge Entertainment, Summit Entertainment
A high-stakes prison-escape thriller that pits an expert against his own creation, driven by momentum and tactical problem-solving rather than emotional depth.
Ray Breslin is the world's foremost authority on structural security. After analyzing every high security prison and learning a vast array of survival skills so he can design escape-proof prisons, his skills are put to the test. He's framed and incarcerated in a master prison he designed himself. He needs to escape and find the person who put him behind bars.
