Plot

In 2079, CIA agent Snow is arrested for the murder of undercover agent Frank Armstrong who had uncovered evidence of an agent selling state secrets about the space program. Secret Service director Scott Langral threatens to have Snow incarcerated on the maximum security space penitentiary MS One where prisoners are kept in stasis for their sentence. Snow's agent friend Harry Shaw tries to locate Snow's contact Mace who knows where Frank's briefcase containing the secret information is hidden.

Meanwhile, Emilie Warnock, daughter of President Warnock, arrives at MS One to investigate claims that stasis might affect prisoners' minds, leading to psychopathy and dementia. Hydell, a prisoner, is awakened for questioning, but manages to escape. He releases all of the prisoners and starts a riot, led by his brother Alex. Emilie and others are captured. Shaw convinces Langral to send Snow to rescue Emilie rather than risk her life in a siege. Snow is initially reluctant, but agrees after Shaw tells him that Mace is on MS One, and could help Snow prove his innocence. Snow secretly infiltrates MS One. Alex realizes Emilie is the President's daughter and goes to secure her. Emilie manages to escape with her bodyguard Hock and hide in a secure room. A problem with the oxygen supply however causes Hock to commit suicide to give Emilie more time.

Snow breaks into the room and rescues Emilie. Snow changes Emilie's hair to conceal her gender and appearance after the prison is alerted to her true identity, allowing them to walk through the prison population. They find Mace, but the stasis has given him dementia and made him incoherent. Snow and Emilie bring Mace with them as they attempt to reach the escape pod. Without the maintenance of the staff, the prison has begun to fall out of its orbit and crashes into a satellite. The collision causes a breach and Mace is killed. Snow brings Emilie to the pod but discovers it has only one seat, and that he has been sent there to die. He sends Emilie on her way, but she allows to pod to launch without her, believing that the remaining hostages will be otherwise killed. Hydell contacts Emilie and threatens the hostages unless she reveals her location. When she does so, he kills all of the hostages.

As Snow and Emilie flee, they discover evidence that the prisoners were being illegally used as test subjects. Alex finds the pair and captures Emilie after shooting Snow and leaving him for dead. When Alex learns that Hydell has killed all of the hostages, he beats Hydell and contacts the President threatening to allow Hydell and the prison population to rape Emilie if they are not released. The President refuses to allow a siege and risk Emilie, causing Langral to temporarily relieve him of his command. Langral orders the destruction of MS One. Hydell tries to rape Emilie as promised, but is stopped by Alex. Infuriated he stabs Alex to death. Emilie fights back and Hydell attempts to stab her, but he is incapacitated by Snow. Snow and Emilie flee from the prisoners and Hydell. Meanwhile Langral's men plant a bomb on the prison. Snow and Emilie use space suits and jump from the ship as it detonates, destroying the prison. The suits allow the pair to re-enter Earth's atmosphere and land safely in New York City.

Snow is arrested. Emilie later realizes that Mace's seemingly incoherent rambling was the location of and password needed to access Frank's briefcase. Armed with the briefcase, Snow meets with Shaw. Shaw immediately unlocks it to see the evidence, but finds it empty. Snow notes that he had not given the unlock code to Shaw, and Shaw is revealed as the mole and arrested. Snow is released and his possessions returned, including a lighter given to him by Frank before his death. Snow finds a microchip containing the real secret information hidden within it. Emilie meets Snow and teases him, having learned his first name is Marion. The pair walk away together.
Cast

    Guy Pearce as Snow:

    A former government agent wrongly convicted of espionage against the United States.[5] After meeting with him for the first time, the directors commented that he was too skinny, but Pearce promised that he would "buff up". Pearce undertook a high-protein diet and weightlifting regime to increase his muscle mass, as he believed it was important that Snow look like a serious action hero.[6]

    Maggie Grace as Emilie Warnock:

    Daughter of The President of the United States.[5] Grace intended to perform as many of her own stunts as possible, and was required to learn stunt, combat, and wire work before filming began.[7][8] She was drawn to the role partly because of Besson, with whom she has worked twice previously, and because she saw the character as a "kick-ass" woman. Describing Emilie, Grace said she is a "capable young woman who knows how to negotiate her role as someone in a position of responsibility. She certainly has a strong world compass and she responds amazingly well under pressure. True, she's not exactly trained for the situation she finds herself in, but that's OK. There's still a strength about her in spite of that."[7]

    Peter Stormare as Scott Langral:

    The Chief of the Secret Service. Describing what drew him to the role, Stormare commented "the part was nice because it was like 'Wow, he's eluding me all the time. What is he up to? Is he really a bad guy or a good guy? What side is he on?' You never find out, which is kind of cool."[9]

Lockout

    Lennie James as Harry Shaw:

    A Secret Service agent.[10]

    Vincent Regan as Alex:

    A prisoner and leader of the prison revolt.[10]

    Joseph Gilgun as Hydell:

    Alex's psychotic brother and fellow prisoner.[10]

The cast also includes Tim Plester as Mace, Snow's contact; Anne-Solenne Hatte as Kathryn; Jacky Ido as Hock, Emilie's bodyguard; Peter Hudson as President Warnock, Emilie's father; Mark Tankersley as Barnes, the prison Warden; and Miodrag Stevanovic as Frank Armstrong, a CIA agent.

Development

Principal photography was scheduled to begin on September 7, 2010,[11] in the Serbian capital city Belgrade.[7][12] Much of the filming used green screens, rather than practical sets.[7][12] The intended scenes were storyboarded in Dublin, Ireland to aid the actors in visualizing how the green screen scenes would appear after the completion of the CGI in post-production. Speaking about the experience, Grace stated: "You just have to suspend the voice in your head because you feel so silly reacting to nothing there. Having whole conversations with people that aren’t there. I felt a little crazy the first time around."[8]

Luc Besson produced the film. Besson also co-wrote the script with James Mather and Stephen St. Leger. Leger directed the film.[13]

FilmDistrict purchased the distribution rights to the film for a limited amount.[14] In December 2011, FilmDistrict reached a deal to distribute its 2012 films including Lockout through Open Road Films for a fee.[14][15]
Release

The film was released on April 13, 2012, in North America.[4]

The film grossed $14,326,864 in the United States and Canada, and $11,326,096 from markets elsewhere for a total gross of $25,652,960.[4]

Lockout opened to $6.23 million from 2,308 theaters in the United States and Canada - an average of $2,700 per theater - making it the number 9 film for the weekend.[4][16] Pre-release tracking of the film had estimated that its opening weekend gross would be between $6–8 million.[14] The film drew a large male audience, with men making up 65% of those in attendance and an even split between those under and over the age of 25.[16]
Critical reception
Lockout received generally mixed to negative reviews. The film earned a score of 48 out of 100 from 32 critics on review aggregate website Metacritic,[17] indicating "mixed or average" reviews. It also garnered 36% approval from 114 critics on Rotten Tomatoes – an average score of 5 out of 10 – whose consensus reads: "Guy Pearce does the best he can with what he's given, but Lockout is ultimately too derivative and shallow to build on the many sci-fi thrillers it borrows from."[18] CinemaScore polls reported that the average grade moviegoers gave the film was a "B-" on an A+ to F scale.[19]
