Part chilly science fiction film, part action movie, The Island is set in an industrial complex in 2019, after an event called The Contamination seems to have rendered most of the earth uninhabitable. Residents of the complex live ordered lives - their only excitement is The Lottery, in which winners are chosen to live on The Island, the only uncontaminated landmass left. The young and headstrong Lincoln Six Echo (played by Ewen McGregor) is plagued by dreams of another life - and when he discovers the awful secret behind The Island, he and a friend escape from the complex and head out into the world....

This is a great movie all about adventures, secrets and romance it has you tied to the edge of your chair all the way through wanting to know what happens next, BUT it is a bit sad because its about clones of people and going to the island is not such a good idea. You must see if you know whats good for you.

Fascinating facts

The black and white commercial featuring the character of Sarah Jordan was actually an advert previously filmed starring Scarlett Johansson, the actress who plays her.
