Synopsis
"Close your eyes. Open your mind. You will be unprepared."
SUCKER PUNCH is an epic action fantasy that takes us into the vivid
imagination of a young girl whose dream world provides the ultimate
escape from her darker reality. Unrestrained by the boundaries of
time and place, she is free to go where her mind takes her, and her
incredible adventures blur the lines between what’s real and what
is imaginary.
She has been locked away against her will, but Babydoll (Emily
Browning) has not lost her will to survive. Determined to fight for
her freedom, she urges four other young girls - the outspoken Rocket
(Jena Malone), the street-smart Blondie (Vanessa Hudgens), the
fiercely loyal Amber (Jamie Chung) and the reluctant Sweet Pea (Abbie
Cornish) - to band together and try to escape their terrible fate at
the hands of their captors, Blue (Oscar Isaac), Madam Gorski (Carla
Gugino) and the High Roller (Jon Hamm).
Led by Babydoll, the girls engage in fantastical warfare against
everything from samurais to serpents, with a virtual arsenal at
their disposal. Together, they must decide what they are willing to
sacrifice in order to stay alive. But with the help of a Wise Man
(Scott Glenn), their unbelievable journey—if they succeed—will
set them free.
Born from the creative vision of filmmaker Zack Snyder (WATCHMEN,
300), the movie features an ensemble cast of young stars, including
Emily Browning (THE UNINVITED), Abbie Cornish (BRIGHT STAR), Jena
Malone (INTO THE WILD), Vanessa Hudgens (the HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL
films) and Jamie Chung (SORORITY ROW). The film’s main cast also
includes Oscar Isaac (Robin Hood) and Carla Gugino (WATCHMEN), with
Jon Hamm (THE TOWN) and Scott Glenn (THE BOURNE ULTIMATUM).
