Lincoln Six-Echo (Ewan McGregor) is a resident of a seemingly utopian but contained facility in the mid-21st century. When he discovers to his horror that everything about his existence is a lie and that he is actually more valuable dead than alive, he and fellow resident Jordan Two-Delta (Scarlett Johansson), make a daring escape to the outside world he's never known. Now, with the forces of their former residential institute relentlessly hunting them down, Lincoln and Jordan find themselves in a desperate race for their lives.
