In the far-off future of the year 2019 (yikes!!) the world seems to be filled with humans living a robotic life in a concrete existence. The only thing they have to look forward to is winning the lottery and going off to live an idyllic life on "The Island." But Lincoln Six Echo (McGregor) begins to suspect that the island isn't all that it's cracked up to be and when his friend, Jordan Two Delta (Johansson), is chosen as the next lucky lottery winner, he convinces her that it's time they made their escape from the world in which they live. (Tricia Spears)
