Synopsis

The Island (2005) is a sci-fi action thriller directed by Michael Bay — watch it online on iFILM. Ewan McGregor and Scarlett Johansson star as Lincoln Six-Echo and Jordan Two-Delta, residents of a sealed underground compound who are told the outside world is contaminated and that a lottery ticket to "The Island" is the only hope they'll ever get.

Lincoln starts asking questions nobody wants answered — why does the perimeter never open, why do lottery winners never come back? The answer is worse than anything he imagined. He and Jordan aren't survivors; they're clones grown by Dr. Merrick's corporation (played by Sean Bean) as living spare parts for wealthy clients. With a mercenary team led by Albert Laurent (Djimon Hounsou) hunting them across a world they've never seen, they have one shot at something real.

Produced by DreamWorks and Warner Bros. on a $126 million budget, the film rounds out its cast with Steve Buscemi and Michael Clarke Duncan. Bay wraps a classic clone-ethics premise inside a full-throttle chase, keeping the central question — what makes a person a person — running underneath every set piece.
