OverviewEscape Plan teams up action legends Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger in a high-concept prison break thriller. Stallone plays Ray Breslin, a security expert who breaks out of prisons for a living. But when he’s thrown into a top-secret, off-the-grid black site and double-crossed, he must escape for real — with the help of fellow inmate Emil Rottmayer (Schwarzenegger).
With a futuristic super-prison, brutal guards, and mind games at every turn, it’s a blend of brains and brawn that leans into old-school action charm.
