This Action Epic Pitting Arnold Schwarzenegger Against Sylvester Stallone Arrives on Streaming Soon
Sep 18, 2024
There’s a movie now more than 10-years old pitting two of the greatest action stars of all-time against each other that is set to begin streaming soon. Escape Plan, the 2013 action epic starring Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger, will officially begin streaming on Netflix on October 1. The film tells the story of a structural-security authority who finds himself set up and incarcerated in the world’s most secret and secure prison when suddenly he has to use his skills to escape with help from the inside. In addition to Stallone and Schwarzenegger, Escape Plan also stars Vincent D’Onofrio, Amy Ryan, Sam Neill, and David Leitch, and the film currently sits at a 50% score from critics and a 55% rating from general audiences on the aggregate site Rotten Tomatoes.
Jason Keller and Miles Chapman wrote the script for Escape Plan. The former is best known for his work on Ford v Ferrari, the racing epic starring Christian Bale and Matt Damon. He also wrote the script for Mirror Mirror, the sword and sorcery adventure comedy starring Lily Collins and Julia Roberts. He made his feature debut in 2011 penning the script for Machine Gun Preacher, the true crime biker drama starring Gerard Butler and Michael Shannon. Chapman even returned to write the screenplay for Escape Plan 2: Hades, which replaces Schwarzenegger with Dave Bautista. He also wrote the threequel, Escape Plan: The Extractors, and all three of these movies are his only feature screenwriting credits in his career. His only other writing credits come from penning nine episodes of the 2012 TV series, Cybergeddon.
What Else Is Popular To Watch on Netflix?
Rebel Ridge spent a considerable amount of time in the top Netflix spot, but was recently dethroned by Uglies, the sci-fi flick starring Joey King, leaving Rebel Ridge in the #2 spot. Black Mass, the true crime drama starring Johnny Depp, Benedict Cumberbatch, and Joel Edgerton, is also hanging around the Netflix top 10, with Edge of Tomorrow slowly fading closer to the back of the pack after premiering early in September. The Super Mario Bros. Movie and Sonic The Hedgehog are both making strong pushes recently.
Escape Plan stars Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger and was written by Miles Chapman and Jason Keller and directed by Mikael Håfström. Stay tuned to Collider for future streaming updates and watch Escape Plan when it hits Netflix next month.
