The Lockdown (2024) is an action-packed thriller directed by Ryan C. Jaeger, featuring Caity Lotz and Leo Howard as siblings Charlie and Jack Hightower. The story follows their harrowing ordeal after being wrongfully imprisoned in Myanmar’s notorious Hkantaut Prison, a facility where inmates are coerced into participating in brutal, televised fights for a chance to escape death row. As they navigate this perilous environment, Charlie and Jack must rely on their unbreakable bond and martial arts prowess to survive and seek freedom.

Complicating their plight is a web of betrayal and corruption, with their estranged father, Max Hightower (played by Michael Biehn), implicated in the scheme that led to their incarceration. The prison’s malevolent warden, Cetan (Hon Ping Tang), orchestrates the deadly fights, exploiting the siblings’ struggle for survival as entertainment for a global audience. Throughout the film, Charlie and Jack confront formidable adversaries and moral dilemmas, testing their resilience and commitment to each other in their quest for justice and liberation.
