The Island is science fiction action thriller film directed and co-produced by Michael Bay. It stars Ewan McGregor, Scarlett Johansson, Djimon Hounsou, Sean Bean, Michael Clarke Duncan and Steve Buscemi. The film is about Lincoln Six Echo (McGregor), who struggles to fit into the highly structured world in which he lives, isolated in a compound, and the series of events that unfold when he questions how truthful that world is. After Lincoln learns the compound inhabitants are clones used for organ harvesting as well as surrogates for wealthy people in the outside world, he attempts to escape with Jordan Two Delta (Johansson) and expose the illegal cloning movement.
The Island cost $126 million to produce. The original score was composed by Steve Jablonsky, who would go on to score Bay’s further works. It opened on July 22, 2005, to mixed reviews, earning $36 million at the United States box office and $127 million overseas for a $162 million worldwide total.
In 2019, Lincoln Six Echo and Jordan Two Delta live with others in an isolated compound. This community is governed by a strict set of rules. The residents are told that the outside world has become too contaminated to support life with the exception of a pathogen free island. Each week, one resident gets to leave the compound and live on the island by way of a lottery.
