Plot :
Mike Milch (John Gallagher Jr.), an employee of Belko Industries, arrives at his remote office building in rural Bogotá, Colombia, to find newly-hired security guards turning away the local Colombian staff at the gate. Mike — like girlfriend Leandra (Adria Arjona), boss Barry (Tony Goldwyn), and everyone else at the vaguely defined nonprofit company — has been there for a little over a year. New employee Dany (Melonie Diaz)
reports for her first day on the job, and is told that a tracking
device is implanted in the base of every Belko employee's skull in case
they are kidnapped. This is common in Colombia due to the high level of
drug trafficking and Belko being a wealthy company. Dany is also given
the keys to her company car and new apartment. She is optimistic about
her first day on the job.
Evan, Belko's head security guard does not know who the new security
guards are, nor why the Colombian staff have been barred from entering.
Mike also sees the guards moving in and out of an airplane hangar next
door. He tells Evan and both are confused.
With the local staff gone, the eighty employees left at the office go
about their day as usual. Once the eightieth employee shows up for her
job, a voice on the intercom then instructs the coworkers to kill two of
their number, or else more will be killed at random. Several staff
attempt to flee the building, but steel shutters suddenly rise up,
sealing off the outside walls and doors and locking them all in. They
ignore the announcement at first, believing it to be a prank, but 4
employees die when explosives hidden in their trackers detonate and blow
their heads apart. The employees believe the deaths are due to sniper
fire at first, but Mike realizes the actual cause and attempts to remove
his tracker with a penknife. Warned by the voice that he too will die
unless he stops within ten seconds, Mike gives up the idea.
The group is next told that unless thirty of them are dead within two
hours, sixty will be killed. They split into two factions, led by Mike
and Barry; Mike believes that there should be no killing, while Barry
intends to follow the directions in order to prevent more deaths. Mike
and his group, including Leandra and Evan, try to hang banners from the
roof of the building as a call for help, but soldiers outside shoot at
them. The voice warns that unless they stop, all involved will be
killed, forcing them to abandon the plan. Barry and his group find a
cache of firearms meant for the security staff and attempt to burn off
the lock, as Evan refuses to hand over the keys.
Meanwhile, Bud and Lonny, two maintenance workers, attempt to melt
the metal shutters with a torch, but the metal does not even heat up.
Bud tries to calm the other as he begins to have a panic attack, but he
kills Bud by hitting him with a wrench. The worker spots Dany, who has
been hiding in the building's base all the while, and they briefly
fight, but Dany impales the back of his head on two metal shards
sticking out of the wall. She returns to her hiding place.
Barry orders everyone down to the lobby to try and calm them down. He and his crazed henchman Wendell (John C. McGinley)
select thirty people at random, including Mike, forcing them to kneel
in a line. He begins executing them with a gunshot to the back of the
head. Dany hears gunshots and goes up to the floor, sees what is
happening and runs back to the basement. She knocks out power to the
lights before he can kill Mike.
Barry and Wendell hunt down the fleeing employees, but the two-hour
time limit runs out and the voice informs them that only twenty nine
have been killed. 30 employees die when their trackers explode, leaving
only a few survivors. The voice informs them that the one who kills the
most people by the end of the day will be allowed to walk out alive. The
voice lists the people who have killed the most. Barry begins killing
indiscriminately, while Leandra kills Wendell. Another employee, Marty (Sean Gunn),
collects the unexploded trackers from the heads of people who have died
by other methods; when he is killed, Mike takes them for himself. Vince
throws molotov to the cafeteria lady, while Mike and Leandra escapes,
Barry shoots Vince and Dany who was hiding on the elevator. He, Leandra,
and Barry are the only three people still alive at this point.
Mike and Leandra hide in a filing cabinet, but Leandra bleeds to
death from a gunshot wound. In a rage, Mike kills Barry with a blow to
the head. The building is then unsealed, since he is the last survivor,
and the soldiers escort him to the hangar next door. He tries to fight
them but in a state of shock, he gives up. There, he meets the owner of
the voice (Gregg Henry),
who introduces himself as a social scientist who believes that
discoveries about human nature can only come from placing people in
extreme environments. As he and his colleagues begin to ask Mike about
his emotional and mental state, Mike notices a panel of switches that
correspond to the eighty employees. Having planted Marty's trackers on
the Voice and the soldiers, he charges across the room and flips every
switch except his own. The trackers explode, killing the Voice and the
soldiers, and he leaves the warehouse in a state of shock. The view
zooms out to reveal that Mike is one of hundreds of sole survivors from
similar experiments, being watched by another group through security
cameras. A new voice states that "stage 1 is complete" and "stage 2 will
now commence."
