He’s broken out of the world’s most secure prisons—but this time, there may be no way out. Sylvester Stallone returns as security expert Ray Breslin in the explosive first trailer for Escape Plan 4: Terminal Lockdown, promising the darkest, most high-stakes entry in the franchise yet.
Directed by Ric Roman Waugh (Angel Has Fallen), the film follows Breslin after he’s wrongfully captured and imprisoned in an off-the-grid, black-site super-prison in the Arctic Circle. Codenamed “Acheron,” the facility is built to hold the world’s most dangerous enemies—and it was designed using Ray’s own escape-proof blueprints.
The trailer opens with Breslin waking up in a freezing cell, whispering: “This place… was made for people like me.”
Key highlights from the trailer:
-
An underground fight ring where prisoners battle for food and intel
-
The reveal of Michael Jai White as a rogue mercenary-turned-inmate who may be ally or enemy
-
Surveillance drones and automated guard systems turning the prison into a deadly maze
-
Flashbacks to the fall of Breslin’s old company, hinting at betrayal from within
Returning alongside Stallone is 50 Cent as hacker Hush and Dave Bautista in a special cameo role. The trailer teases a brutal showdown between Breslin and the facility’s shadowy director, played by Josh Brolin, who snarls: “You’re not escaping this time, Ray. You’re the blueprint.”
Fans of the franchise are hyped, with the internet lighting up with praise for the gritty visuals and Stallone’s commanding return. Hashtags like #EscapePlan4, #StalloneReturns, and #TerminalLockdown are trending.
Escape Plan 4: Terminal Lockdown is set to break into theaters on October 3, 2025, with a simultaneous VOD release worldwide.
