The Island 2005


The Island tells the story of a future world where wealthy citizens have the option to have themselves cloned in order to insure they have a guaranteed matching source for organs, blood, or any other replacement body parts that may be needed. While this sounds like a great medical advancement in theory, the reality is the “insurance policies” of these affluent people are actual living, breathing, and feeling human beings who have to be murdered in order for the original person to have their replacement body part. The clones are deceived into believing they are being held away due to a worldwide contamination.

The only other uncontaminated place is known as the Island, and periodically one or several of the clones will “win” a lottery ticket to go to this island. In actuality, they are being killed for their organs. When two of the clones escape and learn the truth of their situation, they attempt to free the others and tell everyone they can about the conspiracy while being hunted down by those in charge at the Utopian facility from which they came.

Lincoln Six-Echo (Ewan McGregor) and Jordan Two-Delta (Scarlett Johansson) live in a contaminate-free facility to protect them from a worldwide disease. Everyone in the facility has been told that “The Island” is the only place on earth that has not been infected. All the residents want to go to “The Island,” but the only way to be chosen is by winning the lottery. Starkweather (Michael Clarke Duncan) wins a trip to “The Island” and is sent on his way. Lincoln has an inquiring mind and wants to know more by exploring the inner workings of the facility. Lincoln discovers that he is a clone when he sees Starkweather being operated on for his body parts. His entire life at the facility has been a lie. Lincoln and Jordan are able to escape from the facility before they win a trip to “The Island.” They want to meet their donor and stop the harvesting of body parts. The head of the facility hires mercenaries to track them down before they can expose his secret to the world. Douglas Young (the-movie-guy).
