Now, a security prison in orbit

THE futuristic Lockout, played in the year 2079, has the chain-smoking Snow (Guy Pearce) up in space in M.S One, a maximum-security prison where inmates are kept in check by extended periods of cryogenic stasis.
He is, you see, suspected of espionage by the Secret Service, who pursued him because he had possession of a briefcase that might hold important documents.

Snow’s chance of freedom arrives when, on a visit to the facility, the U.S President’s daughter Emile Warnock (Maggie Grace), is held hostage when the inmates overrun the place.
The question might be asked why she was there at all…the answer is, she was sent to make sure the prisoners were not being ill-treated.
Emile has to be rescued at all costs and Snow is offered a get-out- card if he can secure her freedom.
Snow is a brilliant and versatile individual and one capable of all things.
If mission is to be accomplished successfully, they’ll have to elude hundreds of convicts, among them self-imposed leader Alex (Vincent Regan) and his psychotic loose cannon of a brother Hydell (Joseph Gilgun), and make it to the station’s last remaining escape pod.  95 minutes.
