Escape from Planet Earth

Earth's greatest secrets are about to break out!


Escape from Planet Earth
This film was kept from the critics prior to release, which is never a good sign. It catapults us to planet Baab where an admired astronaut is a national hero to the blue alien population. A master of daring rescues, he pulls off astonishing feats with the quiet aid of his nerdy, by-the-rules brother, who is head of mission control at BASA. When BASA's no-nonsense chief informs the brothers of an SOS from a notoriously dangerous planet, our hero rejects his brother's warnings and bounds off for yet another exciting mission. But when he finds himself caught in a fiendish trap, it's up to his scrawny, risk-adverse brother to do the real rescuing. This film is releasing in both 2D and 3D, this is the 2D version.
