This film is the first pairing of the action legends Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone in the lead roles. In the movie, Sylvester Stallone plays Ray Breslin. Ray Breslin was wrongly imprisoned. So he recruits his fellow inmate, Emil Rottmayer (Arnold Schwarzenegger) to devise a daring and nearly impossible plan to escape from the one of the best fortified and best protected prison, the Tomb. This film is a thriller and a fun team up of the great stars.

The trailer of the film was released through the gaming website IGN. The Escape Plan underperformed in its American opening weekend. It was ranked at number 4 in the box office chart. The film performed better overseas. The worldwide grossing of the film was 125,773,103 dollars. The critics rated that the film was moderately well. The story has just enough thrills and just enough suspense. The plot and twists are also just right for a normal film. But the full potential of the old school heroes has not been utilized completely. Also, the pairing of the super stars has no memorable moments or scenes. The ardent fans of these stars are actually upset and a stronger storyline or a unique storyline for theses two superheroes is all that is missing in this film.
