Escape Plan (2013)

This star-studded film packs adrenaline, thrill, and mystery. As its title suggests, the story centers on making the perfect escape plan. But this poses a challenge especially when it involves a maximum-security prison practically unknown to anyone and where the worst criminals are incarcerated.

The protagonist is Ray Breslin (Sylvester Stallone), a structural-security authority who has devoted his life to making sure prisons are inescapable. Hired to inspect a new facility, he poses as a new inmate but once he is in, he realizes that someone doesn’t want him out. He must find a way to break out and in order to do so, he needs all the help he can get. It comes in the form of the mysterious prisoner Rottmayer (Arnold Schwarzenegger).

This is an entertaining film packed with a star-studded cast. I mean, who doesn’t want to see two of Hollywood’s famous action stars appear together on one screen? Not to mention that they both still look ripped and can kick butts. The movie was well-received it even birthed a sequel, which sadly failed to impress viewers unlike the original.
