The Island
Your time will come...
Directed by Michael Bay
Produced by DreamWorks Pictures, Warner Bros. Pictures
A high-octane sci-fi thriller about clones discovering their manufactured existence and fighting for freedom in a dystopian system built on deception and organ harvesting.
In 2019, Lincoln Six-Echo is a resident of a seemingly "Utopian" but contained facility. Like all of the inhabitants of this carefully-controlled environment, Lincoln hopes to be chosen to go to The Island — reportedly the last uncontaminated location on the planet. But Lincoln soon discovers that everything about his existence is a lie.
