    • Synopsis
    • The Prison, The Detention Facility …is out of this world. More specifically, it's the world's
      most sophisticated prison ever, floating in space 50 miles above the earth. That's where
      the planet's 500 most dangerous criminals are kept in a drug-induced sleep. And it's
      where Snow, the US government's wisecracking go-to guy for high-risk undercover ops,
      is headed after he is framed for the killing of senior agent Frank Armstrong. It's also the
      destination of President Warnock's daughter, Emilie, on a top-security humanitarian
      trip. Unfortunately for Emilie, as soon as she arrives, those 500 prisoners... They just woke
      up!
      Snow is shuttled to, not as a comatose convict but on a mission to rescue the Prez's
      daughter from the deranged bloodthirsty killers, and on a personal mission to find the
      man who may prove his innocence of Armstrong's murder...
      After seeing Saint & Mather's award-winning short Prey Alone, Luc Besson signed up the
      ultra-talented duo to co-write and direct Lock-Out. Together, they have scripted a
      snappy adrenalin-fueled futuristic thriller. Principal photography begins in September
      2010.
